>I am impressed by the quality of Windows 10

Weird, I must have some different edition of Windows. Totally inconsistent settings/control panel interfaces, updates taking ages, updates failing when you look at it wrong (and then stuck in update-revert loop every boot), driver setup taking minutes, and I constantly discover some new disk-hogging background process.

You're forgetting about the comparison to a linux desktop though.

I personally would really love to switch to Ubuntu full time, but I'm not going to forgive it soon for bricking my machine after a software update.

Unfortunately for Linux, the automated recovery tools just aren't there like on Windows - if a Windows update breaks the system, it will be able to recover itself 90% of the time.

Yeah, the UI is shitty and inconsistent and there's lots of nonsense in the background, but ultimately those don't matter as much as baseline reliability. No one hunts for WiFi drivers on Windows, at least not since Vista.

Compared to the last Linux GUI distros I used Windows 10 is a massive step up. Compared to Windows 7 it's a massive step down. Can't speak to Linux distros bricking my or my Customers' machines. Windows 10 update-induced issues have caused me a lot more headaches than Windows 7 ever did, though.

NixOS's rollbacks make the updating safer than Windows or regular Linux distros.
