Sure keep telling yourself that you enjoy all the ads, malware, garbage UI and UX, bloated size, cost, etc
Nobody has fun using windows, they just tolerate it.
i'm with you on everything else, but i don't know if linux desktop as a whole is a shining example of good UX/UI, oof...
whats "linux desktop"?
i mean vanilla gnome 47 and plasma 6.1, not whatever ubuntu does
dude i use i3 and arch as a daily driver. for work too. and i LOVE it even if it can get a little janky.
but you cannot with a straight face tell me a user new to linux will find it comfortable to use. let alone people used to other tools like graphic designers (try telling THEM to switch to gimp and inkscape, or even worse to try to use the adobe suite with wine, and see the response you get)
we linux weenies can make our desktop and tools comfortable for us. the average person will ask you where chrome is and give up after you try explaining to them what a flatpak is for the third time.
Yeah your expererience can vary a lot depending on what you use or start out with as a new user.
