LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.

In my experience, usually with Linux they have less problems and it's easier to use. Until they need an application that only works on Windows.
I think this is an issue where you are talking about people coming from windows trying to do windows things on linux like run windows software. Of course you can in some cases run windows software on Linux but it is not a fair comparison to blame Linux for not being able to run windows software. Linux has it's own suite of software and that is often better suited.
In my experience, it's been a bit of a mixed bag. There are some things that work in Linux, and some things that don't, even after a bit of fiddling. My desktop's front panel is completely unusable on Linux, for example.
Windows is at least widespread enough that it's far more likely that parts will work on it at least to some degree. And sure enough, the front panel works fine there.
