Linux is so light and fast. Im not missing much on windows.
I'd been going on and off Linux for years for personal computing. In 2012 I was full switched, and didn't give windows another look until sometime in covid when I was playing through doom eternal or something. Had an annoying bug on Linux where if I ever switched virtual desktops it would freeze.
So I was only using my computer at this time to play doom and used windows for this time.
Then windows 11 came out. And I had to use it for work too. I can't believe at this stage we have this level of bugs and glitches and ignored quirks for so long. When I booted back to Linux I think I made an audible sigh of relief.
It's honestly crazy how much better it is. No bullshit on waiting for cloud shit to sync and auto updates for printer software, VPN clients, and other bullshit software. It's all just there and waiting for you to use it and update it at your leisure.
Things people miss:
If their Windows machine is company issued, that is.
