I have used Mac, SunOS, Solaris and Linux "forever".
Most of Microsoft's offerings since Gates' "Internet Revelation" have allowed far too direct access to the operating system. "Direct-X" being typical, whereas modern security models tend to "containerize" apps and the internet.
With the major players pushing hard on "apps as a service" and more and more restrictions, including intrusive age-verification, IMO, the first step towards de-anonymizing and "doxxing" of everyone, the DIY aspect of Linux is incredibly appealing.
There are currently "ageless" linux distros.
