I'm just comfortable with Windows and I have no reason to move off of it until the transition to linux is so seamless that I barely have to do anything.

After trying to install and debug countless wifi/gpu drivers on debian distros during my university years, I jumped to the same boat as you and just continued using Windows. I pretty much gave up on linux desktop. However, last week (it has been 6 years after my graduation) after seeing many articles on Microsoft, Windows 11 and Manjaro Linux, I decided to give Manjaro a test from bootable usb drive on my new HP touch screen laptop. Everything works without opening terminal once! This is seamless enough for me.

Same. I use linux for work but windows for gaming. The linux gaming experience is 90% the way there, but that 10% of the time where you have to scour forums, bug reports, install custom versions of mesa to work with your gpu, etc… is not worth the effort.
I will probably give linux gaming another try in a few years but if it doesn’t “just work” I’m going back to windows for gaming.
