Edit the Favorites on the menu to take off the stuff you don't use/care about, add the stuff you do, and rock on.
I had a Linux box. Debian. Bought into the reliability spiel.
I found I needed a windows laptop to google how to fix things when it went wrong. And it did. A lot. I’m not alone at least two of my peers - who use Linux machines for production software - had the same issue.

I’ve used a Mac for 15 years. I’m never going back to windows.
Unless you have windows software - which even then you could emulate - I’d say bite the bullet.
