I ain't no expert, but when I ran Windows when I first got PC's they frequently crashed, freezed up, caught a bug or some other malady. I had to re-install WXP several times, replace HDD's, run anti trojan, anti pasti or anti aunty software to get the b*ggers working again, not to mention running Ccleaner periodically or some other house keeping. I was looking though my CDrom stash the other day, there was a pile of Windows related software, like hissy fits that Nick objected to it is a subjective indication of running Windows. My folks run W10, their PC has been to the Dr's at least 10 times this year.
To date after installing Linux there's no pile of CDroms, no pile of dead HDD's, no Ccleaner, no Avast, no weeping tears of frustration periodically when some update inserts ghosts and little demon's in the PC, no stubbed toes from kicking the PC, no visit to the quacks in years. So for someone who isn't a PC tech subjectively speaking Linux has been a good experience for me, a gentle pootle down the river on a sunny day in a rowing boat, lady friend as companion, a few bottles of plonk,a bag of nice nosh, hand lazily making trills in the current, in comparison the good ship SS Windows was a ride down the rapids, teeth clenched, other parts clenched, snow and howling wind lashing down only to find someones nicked your car at the other end, when all you wanted was to get warm and toasty.
There are a few niggles with Linux, but only the equivalent of leaving your corkscrew at home, Andy.
