I evaluated my choices. Getting rid of all Windows telemetry, cortana, bing etc = 5 minutes with w10privacy. Running Forsa 5 on Mac - in a few years, maybe. Learning all the command line switches of Linux - never in my lifetime. So I chose the shortest path.

A legitimate choice. Howevever whether it is truly a wise one depends a bit on what you are doing.

If what you are doing with a computer involves the need to "know all command line switches", then you will also have to know command line switches on Windows.

A linux for the most part nowadays can be used without command line. When you jave to use it, it would be customization or installation of certain experimental software that isn't in the software center (and that is usually copy paste).
