There was a time i thought that way and made the switch, but from windows to mac. That might have been an ok choice at that time. Now, here I am back on linux where it mostly all began. Couldn't be happier in this regard. When something doesn't work, which seldomly happens, I have at least a chance to fix it. If there is a hardware issues, I go to the next (online)-store and buy a replacement part at a reasonable price and don't have to send the device in and wait for a week or two or three.  

 Unfortunate, given whatever wasn't working for you on Linux would be solvable, and you'd retain all its inherent benefits.
