Completely agree. Ubuntu 20.04 with a 5k monitor (Dell UP2715K)? The result: Burn in that lasts for an hour and graphics completely messed up. After a few days the monitor broke. Are 100% scaling too small for your new 4k monitor? Well if you think 200% is too much, you'll have to switch to fractional scaling, where things get blurry. Don't know about macOS, but Windows have no trouble scaling things nicely to 150% for instance.
In Windows there are no monitor issues and it's super easy to set up my PlayStation 3 controller for games (that are also nicely supported). Overall there's just less configuration in Windows.
Instead I run Linux in VMware, which comes with its own perks: By creating a virtual machine per project, everything is neatly grouped in its own workspace, and by suspending instead of shutting down when done, I can get back to where I left off as easy as loading it's previous state from disk, with everything open - unsaved documents, applications, browser tabs, etc. I get the best of both worlds this way.
