I agree but I also don't. I think Linux (with an interface like KDE or Cinnamon) is way easier and way user friendlier than Windows. The fact that it's written by regular users and not corporate overlords can be felt in every pixel. The only time the experience goes tits up is when Wine doesn't want to cooperate with your program.

I run Fedora KDE in a VM on Windows. Although it's a bit of a pain to get setup exactly the way I like - I can tweak just about everything without the need for a 3rd party utility. On Win11 I use StartAllIsBack to add some customizations - and get rid of some horrible Win10/11 UI restrictions. Similar utilities are available for MacOS. So, from my perspective, Linux has OOTB expansive customization with some Window Managers, vs needed 3rd party tools for Win/Mac to get a reasonable level of customization. The ability to both match the UI to both ones workflow preference as well as getting ideal aesthetics is a real plus.

I'm actually positively shocked by how effortless it was to set up Bazzite (which is a spin-off of Fedora KDE) compared to Windows. On Windows, it usually takes me a good few hours to get my drivers and programs installed and configured after a fresh install. On Bazzite, all drivers are included in the kernel and loaded on first boot, and the installer asks which programs you want to use and installs them automatically while you're doing other stuff. The only thing I had to fiddle around was the sensor panel in the task manager thingy, but big kudos for having the option to do that instead of having to rely on third party apps like I do on Windows. So my few hour initial setup time (after the OS is installed) has decreased to zero if you don't count playing with the sensor panel. Wow!
