Just try and get some help for a Windows problem like you can get for
most Linux distros!

Did you ever unzip an app with a batch of files in it in Windows and then
try to find the files?  Good luck!

Or you are using a mail program and you want to attach a file. Where
the devil is the file? The file finding routine in Windows expects you to
OPEN the file to work on it, not copy it. Now it has opened the file.
But where is it???

Oh, yes--how many times have you fought viruses and other malware
with your Windows machine? I bet you have _conduit_ on your Windows
machine right now! Good luck trying to get rid of it!

I would never go so far as to delete Windows--there are some programs
that just don't exist in Linux. AutoCAD. sdr#. WordPerfect. Just to name
three that come to mind instantly.  But I would guess that I spend 95%
of my computing time on Linux, because I can't stand the frustration in
Windows!
