Consider Linux. I recommend the "Debian" flavor, with a "Mate" desktop.
It's a no-brainer to install. It works exactly like all the other desktops. And it's faster, more secure, more stable and doesn't try to sell you stuff. It's also free.

Last time I checked Ubuntu was becoming a bit of a pig and it had suffered some kind of desktop disaster.
I have not encountered the problems with Debian that you describe but maybe my needs (browsing, coding and light video editing) are just that small.
