Do you provide support when they ran into issues? IMO there are a lot of variables here that boil down to Windows (and macOS) having the benefit of familiarity, widespread use, and more consistency. Your experience with Linux will heavily depend on your experience with computers, distro, hardware (e.g. due to obscure driver issues), and workload. Your experience with macOS/Windows will be fairly consistent. There are still driver issues with Windows, but they're less common than Linux.

- Do you provide support when they ran into issues? Sure, few of them are from family. They never had issue with OS, mostly it was application related. - Your experience with macOS/Windows will be fairly consistent. I do not agree. Every system update scares me quite a bit. - There are still driver issues with Windows, but they're less common than Linux. On Fedora, I never had to install drivers manually. All drivers was installed together with first upgrade after fresh install. Even on very old ThinkPad x201 from 2011. On Windows it's mix of searching on multiple HW manufacturer sites, manually installing them and trying if they are compatible.
