I feel you. Very much in the same boat. I do miss a lot of the fun things I did on/with Windows, but with all the malware that's baked into Windows 10 (and prior versions too - they just weren't as heavily scrutinized it seemed) it's just a non-starter for me. Creeps me out too much.

A Microsoft Linux would also be DOA for me, given that I wouldn't trust it to not be the same as their current offering - jam-packed full of privacy-violating spyware, riddled with secret security holes, and getting worse as the days go by. At least with Debian and Fedora, I know what to expect, and I could have an influence on what happens there.

Cynicism aside, I do believe that Microsoft's Linux would be a great choice for consumers. Background upgrades with fast reboots is my number one selling point of Ubuntu to regular users.
