Maybe that’s very subjective but I find that thought very hyperbolic. Windows generally is pretty good and for example have some nice features like complete system reset while preserving your files. Windows has some issues but so does Linux.
I only use Linux on my gaming+work laptop because I enjoy the freedom and I feel Windows is overly intricate and more and more “commercial” but Linux has its rough edges.
