I was very much of the same opinion until the start of the year when I went back to Linux (Manjaro this time, Kubuntu last time) for the precise reasons listed in the article.
Manjaro has caused me no more (and in some respects less) issues than Windows did. The biggest issue for me is finding equivalent software from what I had on Windows. In almost all cases, I've been successful.
Gaming is great so far. Same games.
> experts all over the internet are very condescending in general.
This is a dissapointing generalisation and not my experience. I've had nothing but support and help with any questions I have asked recently.
The Linux ecosystem is a different beast now and one I'd recommend to most people. It's not going to work for everybody but if your user case is not special, chances are you'll have a better time than the current Windows.
