I prefer Linux sucking away my time over Windows sucking away my time any day. Also, I don't feel like Microsofts attitude towards users is much better, theirs is "fuck you, we're getting your money anyways, eat trash". I'd rather use something that's imperfectly built for actual users over something that's built to generate revenue and market power for Microsoft. For the biggest part, the additional pain that I have with Linux (over the pain that I'd have with Windows anyways) is worth it for having a system that brings me joy to use and gives me room to be and feel competent. The rest is made up for with the knowledge that I'm using FOSS. Obviously, this is my personal view, which is a result of my preferences, how I (like to) use computers and my values. But so is yours.
