I've been using Linux as my main desktop for possibly a decade or more, using various versions of Ubuntu (LTS) and Mint (although my first dual-boot was Suse). Up to 2014 I used to dual-boot with Windows XP on my main desktop PC, but as soon as that went out-of-support, I went to Linux Boot only (Ubuntu 2014.04 if I remember rightly).
But then I don't play games, and have a VM with Windows (currently 10) for when I absolutely need to use Office rather than LibreOffice (normally if I've got to complete a Word document with Macros, or there are sites that absolutely must use IE on Windows (yes, they exist)). For my personal day-to-day stuff. LibreOffice is fine.
I do have work Laptops with Windows, but in order to use these as I'm used to I normally get a windows app that uses bash (Cygwin or Git Bash, for instance) so I can use the Bash command line tools I'm familiar with.
Linux at home meets my needs. I'm familiar with it, know how to build from source (./configure, make, make install) which is far superior to anything Windows has out-of-the-box. There is no personal use-case for me to go back to Windows for my main personal desktop.
My current desktop has Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I'll upgrade to 22.04 LTS when this comes out.
