I've also used Linux on the desktop for over a decade, and I have to use Windows 10 at work every day. In my experience, Windows is still not Linux. I don't know what kind of laptops you've had to run Linux on, but my desktop experience has generally been much better than on Windows. Sure you have the occasional tussle with things that don't work at install (although it's getting better). But once things are set up you don't have to fiddle so much anymore and it's usually smooth sailing from then on. Things just work. I don't want to get into details about what's missing, although I could go on for a while on that. I'll only share one small use-case. Linux spoils you with the belief that you can just set up your work environment once and find everything exactly where you left it. So imagine that you have 8 desktops and you've spread and organized things nice and tidy: browsing on Desktop1, work environment for app1 (git, log, tests, editor, etc) on D2, work environment for app2 on D3, media on D4, email on D5, experimental stuff on D6, on and on, you catch the drift. That setup out of the way, you can just show up and work on whatever you want, each day, every day, for months. Now the Windows experience. Everything works at install, but then you try to turn Windows into Linux, you tweak at it and you get maybe 80% of the way in. Not bad, you can get some work done. Then you're reminded of the Windows reality: the dreaded updates. You basically never stop updating. Firewall, antivirus, drivers, apps and rebooting. That's just one thing, I could go on with others (someone else pointed, no pun intended, with Windows obsession's with the mouse).
