I’ve switched to Linux a couple of years ago (all PCs at home, so mine, my laptop, my wife’s and my later mother’s - using Ubuntu, later Arch, Debian and Mint). At work I’m stuck with Windows 10.
While I had to do my fair share of tinkering that was only my first (Debian on laptop) where I tried stuff and later Arch which is a DIY distro. I’ve never had to troubleshoot the others.
And in contrast: Windows does not always “just work” either. I’ve had many occurrences where something just stopped working. The difference to Linux is that you are unable to figure out what exactly is the problem and usually have to go with “shrug and reinstall” (the driver or whatever).
