I think OS discussions often become a breeding ground for people to feel offended because people have different preferences but:
I just don't find Linux (or Mac) a compelling alternative. I can do everything I possibly need on Windows; Visual Studio, gaming, VS code, docker, node, browsing, whatever. I absolutely think Linux is so much better for servers since it can all be done from the command line..NET Core was a game changer in that regard, but I'm still perfectly fine with Windows desktop.
I think it comes down to what you prefer, are you a tinkerer or just a user? I just want my desktop to run, I don't care what drivers I'm running or anything like that. Windows comes with the computer, I'm used to it and I've never had the problems described by people. I can plug in any peripheral and it just goes, it's frictionless for me. As far as restarting I'm fine with it, I don't run my computer 24 hours a day, I shut it down after work until I need it for gaming or other reasons, I'm not running software for the space shuttle so I don't need 10 nines uptime

All of the drivers are just there stuff just works. When I started out with Linux in 2001, it was with a tinkerer mindset, but now I really just want something that gets out of my way. Windows just keeps getting in my way and Windows 10 is the worst yet. The only reason I dual boot is for gaming, Proton is still not quite there yet.
