I can't tell you which window was the best XP or 7 but for me it's somewhere between the two. Although I used vista for a long time perfectly fine and people hated that one.
I feel privileged that I got to use these great operating system for so long.
It's what made me good at computers to start with.
Every other Windows distro is okay, since XP. XP ->7 ->10. I'm holding out for 12 because 11 blows, but...Linux looks more attractive every day.
I finally took the plunge and installed Mint about a week ago. It's definitely better.
I partitioned my hard drive so I have both systems available. If everything goes well with Mint for the next few months, I'll just wipe Windows entirely.
If there's nothing specific holding you to Microsoft's ecosystem, you should go for it.
I've installed Mint and Ubuntu before (over a decade ago), and would manage. I remember having a lot of issues with drivers back then. I'd also be putting it on an HP Spectre x360, and I hear there are some difficulties booting linux because of a firmware issue.
