MS was brutal.
I moved over to Linux completely in 2015-2016. Happy as can be. Microsoft contributes only because they benefit because of WSL. I'm pro Linux. Pro linux desktop, and hope the next generations of people get to love and enjoy Linux as much as I've learned to love it and tinkering with things.
Linux is 33 years old. It's just now becoming acceptable and distros are making deals with hardware vendors to mainstream their Linux products out there, so if you're moving over or are older and never kind of got in on it, no fuss, no worries. Drivers are becoming more supported for Linux by default now, and 'compiling things' to make things work while are still there, aren't as much of a pain/common as you'd think.
Having complete control over your system, while many may not care or know why it is that it matters, trust me; it does, and as you become more of a power user with computers you'll learn to see that. No lock ins, no licenses, no app stores, no cloud sign ins.
It'll get better.
Hell there's only really one BSD Desktop out there as far as I can see: https://ghostbsd.org/ https://ghostbsd.org/
