I only boot Windows these days in order to flash things onto mobiles to get rid of Google :)

I was later to the Linux Desktop party, and it was the default ads, bloat, and telemetry included in a base Windows install that was the final nail in its coffin.

I still use Windows for work, but that's outside of my control.

Another vote for PopOS here as acknowledging nod to fxtentacle.

I quit my job to avoid using it and I would do it again.
