From my point of view it was much smoother to setup and configure (can't explain how, and I do Windows for a living) with all the externals (e.g., monitor, Bluetooth, Keyboard/Mouse, backups, NAS resources, cloud storage, printers, etc.).
Personally, I'm a Debian Linux stable control (no drama) security person, knowing to much to trust MS, and will stick with Debian's offered Xfce surface level dull gleam, I don't see the purdy once I opened my apps so what's the point of dapper?
FWIW, my aimed future experience is nicely achieved today in the ArcoLinux-Openbox offering, but Arch only impresses if I were running a cutting edge hardware and needed the latest and greatest kernel hardware stuff, which I can't see ever happening. I'll stick with the base of the base of the base!

There's something to be said with having huge paid resources focused to achieve what I just described above and why Linux in all its flavors may never achieve par. The technically ignorant collective is willing to part with loads of $$ for ease and glitter, and as we know in this forum, doesn't today arrive but onerous.
Edit:
Come on man! No one appreciates my 'best of the best of the best' reference? Tough crowd!
