I use macOS as my daily driver and Windows on my dedicated gaming PC. I have a server running Linux.
I’ve used Linux as my main desktop OS in the past and liked it (certainly more than Windows), but I just don’t enjoy tinkering with my computer in my free time. I spend 8 hours a day messing with computers for work. I don’t want to do it when I’m not working too.
I definitely see the value in having full control over every part of the OS, but it also means it takes more effort. Especially since I’m the kind of person who, given the option, will configure every little detail to my liking. With Linux that’s basically a never ending project.

I have to deal with windows all day at work. Azure, servers, desktops.
I do it all from a Linux machine and remote in.
I use Linux because I don’t want to have to deal with all the windows crap and I want a computer to just work.
In my experience, Linux is the predictable, easy to use and less troublesome option. There is nothing to tinker with, it just works. Predictably.
