The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Honestly, my experience was the opposite. When I had issues with windows, which I had a lot. Reinstalling was often the last and only solution. On Linux, when I had an issue, it was a little learning experience and running 1 command. I guess reinstalling is easier... So maybe not the opposite.

I've never personally run into an issue that required a reinstall that wasn't related to drive corruption. Basically everything has been just a quick restart and the problem vanishes

I've not had to redo windows since 10. 7 was the last time I had an issue that caused a redo which in turn made me go to Linux for a year or two before I had to go back to windows for Visual Studio for work. Been on windows since from 10-11 and I've never needed a redo anymore.

Interesting... I think I quit windows shortly after skipping 8 to go 10. So I might haven't given windows 10 a fair chance
