To some extent I agree, but it really depends on what you do and for whom. When I asked why this company decided to swap windows for linux (for certain teams) I was told their tools (terraform, python, ssh via cygwin, helm, kubectl etc) would break very frequently with windows updates. So they had to do everything via ssh which isn't that convenient.
I've used windows machines for years doing the same thing elsewhere and I had none of these problems. I run cygwin,wsl or a Linux VM and I had everything I wanted locally run on a Windows laptop.
Now having a Linux laptop (based on rhel9) many things are really nice. For example: I cun run gui apps via x11 over LAN on my desktop, I can share many dotfiles from my desktop to have the laptop configured exactly how I like it. But there is a price to pay. Unsurprisingly having to use outlook and ms teams via a browser is a pain.
