Let's be honest, very few people who talk about how much they hate Microsoft will even consider alternatives
I used to help maintain a Linux distro, and there is a level of polish Windows has that I feel cannot be reached by the FOSS ecosystem due the resources dumped into hiring dedicated teams at MS. Microsoft has tons of money. I'm sad about the direction of windows, but it generally works pretty well for how it's designed (which is in some cases awful).
there was a time where that may have been the case, but microsoft has been chipping away at any polish they had for years. sure there's still some rough edges in linux, but it's only getting better where windows continues to get worse
