I use Linux specifically because it saves me all the time it takes trying to get things to work properly in Windows. Printers, USB drives, multiple hard drives, encrypted volumes - all of these give me less trouble in Linux than in Windows. And when it comes to software, the usual experience in Windows is to click on the icon and then wait around a minute or two to see whether it registered, then go and check the Task Manager, kill the process if necessary and try relaunching, etc. On Linux you click the icon and the program pops up.
People always say this as if you don’t spend time doing stuff on Windows.
