You've used Windows your whole life, you won't have a easy time on macOS or Linux. The infamous Linux Tech Tips experiment is the damning proof of it: trying to do things the Windows way and getting annoyed because it works differently on Linux. People with no experience have no biases and are as such more objective test subjects. While Linux has obvious faults and shortcomings, I think the monetary aspect is an underrated psychological factor: if you bought a Mac, you've spent money and you have a great incentive to make it work for you. Linux is free, you try a live CD a weekend, get frustrated and blog about Linux being obtuse. Explains why Linux is common among tech teenagers (free time to get past that hurdle) and pros (incentive to make Linux work for you).
