I my experience:

Windows 10 is not an operating system. You ask it, pretty please, don't run auto-updates, then you come back later finding it ignored you and now everything is f***d up. An operating system is supposed to be able to manage all active processes. But, if you get a virus and tell windows to kill it, it will often come back and say, the program didn't really want to die.

Linux gives you so much power, you can literally tell it to die. And it will.
If you do not like how something works, you can change it. Usually there is a setting that will make the changes. But, even if there isn't, you can download the source code and change it there. You are in complete control.
