Too bad Linux still can't offer a desktop alternative that is widely acceptable.
Well, yes it can. But the choice of Desktop whether that be Linux, MacOS or Windows is just a matter of familiarisation.
I have the exact opposite view to you: "Too bad Windows still can't offer a desktop alternative that is widely acceptable." but that is because I have been using a Linux Desktop for over 20 years. I've been using the LinuxMint MATE Desktop for about 10-11 years.
If you feel happy with Windows, stick with it. It's your machine, and your choice.
