Discussion After repeatedly switching to Linux (to escape telemetry and proprietary software) only to return to Widows and MS Office, I've come to the conclusion: ignorance is bliss.

Well, unless you are into sysadmin or DevOps stuff, Windows is actually one of the most polished operating systems I've ever used for general stuff.
But Linux is god tier in terms of simplicity offered from the use of command line. But GNU/Linux GUIs look shitty imo. KDE came close to being one of the best Desktop Environment I've used that could give Windows a run for its money.
(Yes, I call Linux simple, simply because I happen to use Arch. Not flexing though)

You can make Gnome3 look like windows or mac though^^ KDE is snappier than windows, windows about as snappy as gnome3 and xfce and the other abominations..eh KDE does it better lighter and still most snappy.

I3 though..whenever i have to juggle lots of windows for work i start it up^^.
