I left windows 7 (with payed updates) for linux last year.

The reason: I want my system to just work, to not switch UI every other year or month, to not require ultra total upgrades twice a year, to not hog cpu to download and install some multigigabyte upgrade, to not start updating when I immediatelly need to fix my crashed webserver, to not hide basic settings from me etc...

I've win10/win11 on other mostly browsing only laptops, where I can ignore that OS is actively preventing me from using my device, but I can't have this on my 'prod' machine.
