People's experiences do seem to be hit or miss, but for me I have the opposite experience. I am far more productive with GNOME 3 than I am with the Windows desktop environment. I do boot into Windows pretty frequently to play some games but every time there is something that annoys me, whether it's adverts in notifications, being told to use Microsoft Edge _again_ or Windows updates that take ages to install. I much prefer Linux, not just for development but for every day usage.
