Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn't always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

There are very few items worth keeping Windows for. I have window on a VM on my MacBook for one specific program for work.

On my desktop, I used to dual boot but deleted my windows install after a couple of years.

All the games I play on Steam work on Linux. There are some multi-player games that have anticheat that don't work well with Proton.

Besides that, if you're a professional and you need a software like Photoshop or Ableton or whatever, when you can't get by with the open source alternatives, then I think it's a valid reason. Although even in that case, I prefer MacOS

MacOS is a little annoying at first because it has a bunch of safety rails but with some tweaking, you can get it more or less functionally identical to Linux.
