Ive used MS my whole life. So im just stubborn to move to linux. But really i think just have to put in the effort and i'll be happier in the long run.

They way I see it is this. I look at my computer as a tool and ask is it working for me right now? What software do I need for it to work? Is that software Windows only, if so can I move to an alternative software that cross platform?

Your computer is a tool that lets you do things. If some software, even the OS is holding you back take a look at what is holding you, and see if its worth the negative of staying to keep that software.

For me that answer was Yes Windows is holding me back, but for years I was shackled by Professional Software, games and Legacy apps which kept me to the platform.

Steam with proton fixed the games issue

Swapping myself to different cross platform software helped with my Professional software.

Legacy was managed with a cheap $20 thrift store laptop with Windows xp installed.

Imam now free to move away from windows, I chose Linux since I idealize a "do it all" pc, but Mac OS is also a viable alternative.
