I had the opposite experience. Similar background, Used Windows heavily from DOS through XP. Started a job as Windows 10 had some major incremental releases and was eager to learn PowerShell and see what Windows had done in 10 years.

I earnestly wish I documented my disappointment when I encountered the same annoyances I hadn't seen since I left Windows because after awhile I forgot what they were. Annoying things like updates requiring reboots at least once a month, when an application was busy I couldn't move it out of the way (to do something else while I waited to see if it finished). I found PowerShell too verbose for everyday use, the "terse" commands too different and undiscoverable, everyone I worked with was still entrenched with BAT files, and to run PS1 files I needed to wrap it in a BAT file for security.

I glommed onto WSL, but found myself logging into an Ubuntu box we had because it was nicer.

I was happy my next job was a lot less heavy on Windows. I'd switch to Linux as my daily-driver and dual-boot Windows if I had to.
