I used Linux as my primary OS for awhile, and Mac OS for a long time before that, but I switched to Windows 10 a few years ago.
It's got the Adobe Suite for graphics and video stuff, and WSL for Linux development in a way that's better than MacOS ever reached in that category. The window management is really good nowadays. I'm also writing some software that will target Windows (and also Linux). Great touch screen support on top of that, the Surface Book has a great design (although very limited internal hardware, so I won't be getting another lol)
Plus I like Notepad++ better than any other graphical text editor I've used, and Ditto is my favorite clipboard manager by far.
I think a lot of this could be replicated or improved upon in Linux (and maybe having a secondary Windows box to target stuff to be released for Windows), but the Adobe suite and touch support are the two things that would be too much to miss. Also, audio on laptops has also proven to be an issue with Linux in the past.
Microsoft does seem to be actively hostile in pushing irritants on the user, but they can be disabled, and Apple is similarly hostile nowadays, so I am not inclined to switch back to MacOS.
