I've actually done kind of the opposite recently.
I've used Linux a lot in the past, and especially on servers pretty much exclusively - but I've always had a Windows PC for gaming and a Mac for everything else for personal use.
In the last few months I put together a tiny low power AMD PC (the 35W 8 core 5750GE!) - and I am massively impressed by how well everything works.
Proton/Wine and the OSS AMD graphics stack run older Windows games better than Windows 10 or 11 does. The DP MST setup I have just works (unlike on Windows + NVIDIA where it loves to break). Using KDE as a desktop is more consistent as a UI than Windows 11 is.
It's come a long way, and the user experience (as someone who was expecting to dislike it) is seriously improved & seriously impressive.
edit: a lot of the niggles I used to hit have just gone away - I don't get tearing, multimonitor just worked. I haven't tried disparate DPIs and I expect that would be an issue, but even so... I'm impressed.
