I much prefer Linux to Windows except for a few key things.

One key thing is hardware / driver support. It isn't that Windows is easier to develop drivers for, it's just that most people use it, so that's where manufacturers put their effort. But, it is really annoying that things mostly just work under Windows, but often under Linux they don't. Sometimes getting them to work is a matter of a quick internet search and a small patch. Other times there is no solution and you're stuck with hardware that doesn't fully work.

The other key thing is game support. Again, since Windows is the default platform, games work on Windows. But, for a long time, they didn't work at all on Linux.

I'm really excited that Valve is changing that thanks to the Steam Deck. It could end up solving both of those problems. As more and more games work on Windows, there will be less of a reason to use Windows if you're into PC games. If more people use Linux, there will be more of an incentive for driver manufacturers to support Linux.
