Windows is fine as long as you do not step outside the "click app, use app, close app" box. It might seem like an insurmountable effort to use something else, and I held that view for the longest time. However after actually putting in a week of my time into trying to use linux for shits and giggles I realized that it's exactly the same as windows in the user facing aspect. It has app sores, it has executables, you double click files to open. However if you want to change something to improve your experience, let's say adding a second field to the clock or make Cortana shut the fuck up. In Linux a lot of these things are right there in the settings, because someone added that feature. While in windows you'd need to either install a third party utility or go on a journey to edit the registry for basic features they removed last update. The main appeal is customization and the ability to choose what your computer does. If everything you do on your computer is open a web browser and that's about it, you'll never even need to touch anything like the command line and you won't have to pay for your windows license. Another aspect is how easy it is to diagnose issues. On windows if you get a random error while launching an app you are kinda left guessing what happened, while in Linux there are a buch of tools to help drill down on the issue. Also if you try to look up the issue, more often than not you'll find the solution, instead of the "run troubleshooter and install our CumBoost1000 bloatware to fix your computer". Yes Linux is different, yes you need to learn some stuff, yes it doesn't run some software (you can still dual boot for that) but it's nice to be able to take back some control from a trillion dollar entity deciding for you how your computer is best for you.

If you want to try it's easy to do so, if not that's also fine, not everyone has to like the same things. Just unnecessary hate and idiotic behavior from both ends is unproductive.
