You say even more, as if it was comical to begin with. But yeah, it's annoying sometimes but I'm not dropping 1k for a new GPU anytime soon, I'll have to suffice with the one I have. Yeah I do update them weekly almost, every time I do yay there's a new driver version, it updates and it works. No major issues besides the explicit sync but that's being fixed soon and I installed a patch so yeah.
For sure I spent more time customising it than I did in windows, but that's kind of the point isn't it? Linux is about that, windows is not supposed to be. I don't mind spending time customising and tinkering if I know that a megacorp isn't taking my data. That was the trade-off, data and money for convenience. Now that convenience has been reduced and the data has increased, it's not worth it for me anymore.
So yeah, with windows you need to work against the system, disabling stuff that they intend to ship that is harmful, while on Linux you work with the system, tinkering and customising stuff the way you like it, with the defaults being a community thing, not a megacorp thing.
I mean, read your comment,

It's literally comical. That's how your comment sounds to my wife. (She's smart, but she's not computer savvy)
I think we just need to agree Linux is fine for power users, but Windows is kinda always going to be for the masses and arguing against that is kind of a moo point because it's just facts that Windows (~70%) > Linux (~4%) in OS market share. It's also facts that you can strip out almost anything out of Windows and make it work, but that's not a "for the masses" move either. So arguing that Linux is a better move than Windows because "muh customization" is again, a moo point for like 90% of people.
Edit: Changed moot to moo because it's more comical that way.
