As you should. Linux shit DOESN'T work, for a defintion of work 99% of us use. It ate away so much of my time, with the various distros, until I realized how much simpler it is on Windows.

For this definition MacOS, Windows and Linux all work just fine. I prefer to use a combo of MacOS + Linux because for ME Windows doesn't work, always gets in the way, not just the OS but all the software seems biased towards nagging and spamming and attention grabbing and doing stuff I never explicitly requested it to do instead of just sitting there and doing only what I want them to do.

For others even Chrome OS is good enough.

So mind your use case.

A lot of professionals do real work without touching ANY of what you'd call "office" software whatsoever! I'm not even sure what that "Outlook" thing some refer to even is to be honest. ...I DO use Microsoft Excell, but that's it, the rest of that software universe does not exist to me.

Can't tell if trolling or baiting, oh well, I can't bit this one since I have two boxes under my desktop at home, a Linux computer for everything but playing video games, and a Windows 10 computer for nothing but playing video games. At work I have a laptop with Windows 10 for "serious biz stuff" which means Outlook, and a desktop with Linux for doing actual work. I'm very happy with both operating systems, I wouldn't want to run outlook in the web browser and I'd hate to try to get triple A titles to work in Linux.

Check out Proton, while you're SOL for multiplayer games with anticheat it'll run most[1] AAA games in it's stride.

With the obvious caveat that not everything is click and play, you may have to tweak a config or variable here and there.

Depends of your usage, on my case that's Windows that used to eat much of my time until I got rid of it and things became simpler. That's especially true with the Windows 10 bloat & lack of QA now.
