Or not. I've been using Linux since 2006, initially for fun and giggles, and then by choice, and nowadays it's without a doubt the superior alternative. My successive employers forcing me through Windows gave me the "privilege" of daily-driving Windows at work and seeing up-close everything that Microsoft has produced since XP. That show-stopping 15min drivers installation because you plugged-in some headset or mouse? That's Windows-only. That screen positioning that can't be remembered consistently between work and office? Ditto. That nefarious hours-long unskippable OS-upgrade? Same. That feeling of losing your mind because you configured something in a specific way and now it's gone? Oh yeah, that's Windows overriding your user-preferences behind your back, just because. Your playlist blasting in the open space? Apparently that's a Windows feature of your bluetooth headphones switching off (even when they were not playing because your playlist was paused). That wifi that you have to re-enter the credentials once a month or so? Yeah, Windows suspend/resume once again crapped and that somehow caused network amnesia. And that's just the hardware-ish stuff. The permanent nagging, upselling, silly distractions, adverts and overall lack of polish and stability is nothing new in software-land. I cannot remember when I last had a network, bluetooth, audio or driver issue with Linux on my ThinkPad. I legitimately cannot. But I can assure you I that had 3 of those in the last couple weeks alone on my work's HP elitebook with W11 24H2.
