Haha, I have the exact same experience with linux. Windows is a self-driving Tesla that just works while Linux is some 1960's beater limping into the modern world, requiring the 1500pg Shop Manual in the glove compartment on a daily basis because, you just know that old carbureted air/fuel gets knocked off and requires hand adjustment, and the throttle gets sticky if push the pedal too hard, and it just doesn't like keeping oil in the engine when the rubber seals are too cold. I guess it just comes down to what you expect. To me, Windows is "push install button, come back to internet connected desktop" while Linux is "put aside an afternoon for terminal usage and extensive googling and be prepared to make sacrifices/compromises-- temper your expectations"
