It's amazing the hoops people will jump through to deal with Windows' bullshit but the moment Linux presents the slightest obstacle they write it off as "too hard to use."
You say that like switching to Linux doesn't require jumping through a bunch of hoops.
I run both, and Windows is by far the most user friendly (ignoring Apple since they easily win the UI/UX competition). I didn't have to spend hours getting my gpu to work with Windows or to install on a RAID configuration.
Linux is great if you want to control your system, but most people don't want to fuck with it.
I didn't have to spend hours getting my GPU to work on Linux... What were you using exactly, as a distro and as a GPU? Not that I try to invalidate your experience, but afaik, if you have a AMD or Intel GPU, it should work out of the box and if you have an Nvidia GPU, any user friendly Linux distro that is optionally made for gaming have drivers preinstalled and can easily be updated through a GUI or a two words command so that you can directly play as soon as you installed the distro.
