As a counterpoint, I was a Linux user for ~20 years (eventually with a macOS dev machine on my desk as well).
I got so sick of troubleshooting issues myself, I switched to Windows 7 and have never had to troubleshoot my OS since then. I don't google Windows issues, I don't have crashes, nothing.
It's nice to have a machine that I can just work on and not constantly debug.
(I 100% expect privacy advocates to admonish me for this, but I use hardware I assembled myself and block MS telemetry.)
