Good luck with Windows 10, I gave it 5 minutes of my time, and decided that
once W7 is beyond depreciated, so is Microsoft.  I'll have to learn
Linux then, I guess.

Sounds like a pretty big blanket statement to me.  Maybe yoose been

But all those operating systems work. They may need a tweak here or
there for a particular user, but they can all be customised to how you
want them. The days that your entire computer would freeze if you look
at it the wrong way, are over.
 
Of course, don't buy a 20 year old computer and then install the
newest operating system on it.

I use Linux and iOS on a daily basis.  Windows 10 or 11 occasionally.

Back in prehistory, I used VAX/VMS (which was like speaking in Klingon).

For the end user, the differences among the Unix-derived OSs are
small.  Most normal people use a windowing system.  For us command-line
users there are several interfaces (shells), each of which has its
adherents.  I'd have to think hard to count how many Unix-derived
OSs I've used.  Maybe 10, including a brief flirtation with IRIX
from Silicon Graphics.

Ah, good times.
