I own about 6 Comupters.
4 are Linux/Windows dual boot.
One is windows only and one is Linux only.
I have a Computer science degree.
I’m fluent in Mac, but dislike the company and the expense
of their products.
I don’t like Windows because it is fundamentally
a piss poor operating system design. Plus the guy that stole DOS and made all that money is trying to kill off a good portion of Americans and the world. Name is Bill Gates
even his wife can’t trust him.
Linux is a challenge for most people because it can be complex.
But you CANNOT beat the price.
I’m a cheap guy.
SUDO.
Thank you for sharing that but one thing...
“Linux is a challenge for most people because it can be complex.”
While back, but not anymore... The average user will probably never need to touch the command line interface. Get the right Distro and it is all point an click GUI like windows.

Linux passed the "Mom test" a long time ago. I don't think a modern Linux desktop is any worse to work with than current Windows.

A variable number of laptops and desktops, all scavenged from work. ("Oh, you don't want to fix this, so we can recycle it? I'll put a SSD in it, and bump the ram.") Stuff that I might take around with me for work is dual book Win 10 and stable brance Debian. None are Windows only. Data on the Linux boxes is rsynced regularly with some brute force handmade scripts. I run them until they fall apart. If one fails, I can grab another and be functional with minimal loss.
Installing Ubuntu is no more difficult than installing Windows 10.

Few users have ever installed either one ...
IMO.
YMMV.
