I use both, but prefer linux to stay behind the scenes on my servers. Windows has been a solved problem for me for the past couple of decades. Here's a random 100 day uptime screenshot that I found from 2017, https://imgur.com/a/PRp9L50. These days I usually shutdown more often to not waste power, and my NVMe makes bootups instant anyway.
First, the keyboard shortcuts have no mnemonic. It's just random letters. No way to actually remember them.
Second, there was no way to have the row and column of the current cell highlighted. This made it difficult to find where I was - very important not to screw that up on a PCBA BOM.
I've not found any objective UI problem with LibreOffice Calc. It's not perfect, but it is intuitive and feels like the people who wrote it, use it.

That is no more a problem than the fact that there is no mnemonic to remind you what "chaos" means in English. Shortcuts are there to be convenient to use, not convenient to describe.
Just like LibreOffice keyboard shortcuts, many languages do in fact base their words on similar sounding words.
Does this actually work? I'm just thinking of the people who refuse to learn from an in-person demonstration, much less a written description. But maybe enough of that level of incompetence is filtered out by the time you're doing interesting things with spreadsheets...
(Not that I'm opposed to people mass-abandoning Microsoft, just trying to be realistic about my hopes.)
Billions of installed seats, a huge corporate offering, a mature full-spectrum developer ecosystem, instant familiarity for billions, and working drivers for everything (which every vendor builds with their OS in mind).
no stupid "you're using the wrong distro" recommendations to fix issues either...
There are no enthusiastic Windows users constantly telling you how much superior it is, and how easy it is to write your own drivers in 2026.
