Lmfao, it's 2021. Stop parroting this tired meme. Linux runs beautifully if you aren't doing anything crazy with it.
I say this as a sysadmin responsible for maintaining a small fleet, the majority of which are Linux boxes. I've wasted far more hours helping end users with OS-level problems on Windows and, to a lesser extent, macOS. This is in spite of the fact that, again, the majority of the machines I manage run Linux, and all of these users are similar in technical capability.
Give it a try yourself. I'm sure a lot has changed since you last used it. Oh, and make sure you pick something that holds your hand a bit like Manjaro, Pop!_OS, Mint, or EndeavourOS.
I've been using Linux Desktop on and off for 2 decades now, have contributed to open source projects on Linux, have built my own Linux distro, and was once president of a LUG. It is my personal opinion that it isn't a good desktop operating system. You're free to disagree, but don't assume that I have no idea what I'm talking about.
And you might have been slightly more persuasive by not being a condescending ass, but that's asking a lot of a Linux Desktop evangelist in my experience.
