This is a take I would have agreed with 10 years ago but not today.
There's also the SteamDeck and gaming is a very valid use case now. I do admittedly like getting my hands dirty but I use Linux as a daily driver for school and home.
The forum culture has gotten a bit better. It used to be like that more often 10 years ago but now people seem more helpful. It also really depends on what you google. (E.g. my desktop crashed Linux help vs gnome crash error from logs) But you're also expecting a lot of free support from the community. If you need support buy Linux from a company that offers support like System76, Steam, etc.
Ok, and you can also just backup and reinstall Linux?? In fact some distros automatic snapshots of your system get taken and you can roll back from the terminal, GUI, or bootloader.
The last one I just don't get. Windows errors are cryptic hieroglyphics or UX'd to uselessness. At least I'm Linux it tells me what went wrong either on the screen or in logs. Even with visual bugs I've been able to find an exact bug report with the developers response and the version it will be fixed in after some Googling.
