To be fair, most of those are uniquely Windows problems. If you pick a halfway decent Linux distribution, you will never see advertising, telemetry, or lack of control, and updates are a mostly positive experience. I switched from Windows 7 to Linux around 10 years ago and it's been an improvement in ~99% of my use cases. The only thing Windows really does better is games and the occasional (rare) piece of software which doesn't have a good equivalent for Linux. In those 10 years I've only found myself running a Windows VM a handful of times to get at some critical functionality I needed from Windows-only software. Switching was one of the best IT decisions I ever made.
