I use Linux and Windows at work and home, and both have advantages and disadvantages. I've been migrating more and more to Linux as my daily driver, so my Windows home machine is basically all games at this point, with a Visual Studio install for occasional software development or things that have to be done on Windows. I used scoop (https://scoop.sh https://scoop.sh) for software installs and it was almost as nice as any Linux distro's package management.
UI issues aside, which I'm not that sensitive too, my biggest complaint with Windows is... I can't easily swap CTRL and CAPS LOCK. Every solution I can find involves becoming an Administrator to edit the registry, or install the SysInternals device driver (!!!) - madness!
I used to have a Mac, and it was a toggle setting. Linux as well, if gnome-tweak or the equivalent for whatever desktop is installed. And at home, I can become Administrator to do this. But at work I can't, the systems are very locked down. However on Linux even as a lowly regular user I can setxkbmap and do it.
This annoys me a ridiculous amount every time I have to work on a Windows machine.

Unfortunately in one particular corporate laptop I couldn't even run non-whitelisted executables so that was out.
