I have the same experience. I've tried to use Linux as a desktop since 2000. And tried and retried. Year after year and distro after distro.
Until I realized the desktop experience on Linux will never be on par with Windows, that I need things to just work instead of constantly fiddling to make them work.
I discovered that Gimp is not Photoshop and Libre Office is not MS Office. And I discovered that running things under Wine are not always great.
I discovered I need and want to run Windows software.
I discovered that I like the hardware to work out of the box.
For me, Windows is great as a desktop. And I develop microservice based apps that run under Linux containers/Kubernetes in cloud.
Docker Desktop, WSL and Hyper-V are taking care of all of my potential Linux needs.
I also have a MacBook Pro, but I don't care much about the OS, I mainly bought it for the good battery life and use it to browse the web and watch movies in bed or on the couch or while traveling.
