I guess it's preference. For some reason GNOME looks/feels better than KDE for me. I can't even explain why.

Windows has billions of users, I guarantee you more than a few care about FOSS.
Also FOSS repos for Windows do exist, as explained in other comments here.
I still use it on nearly every new Windows install (including when helping others setup). Although Ninite itself is not FOSS, it has many of the best open source Windows software in its curated list.
There are a ton of great FOSS for Windows. Even before I moved to Linux as my primary OS, I used many of these because they were often just better than the proprietary alternatives.
I still have my old games case. I sometimes browse through it just for the nostalgia. Even just looking at the discs brings memories.
I think it's the difference between the call ending suddenly (hang up) and the call not responding for several seconds before dropping (lost connection).
The Kestrel Cruiser from FTL. Even though it's not even the coolest ship in the game, The Kestrel is still the most nostalgic for me.
It brings me back to when I first played FTL a decade ago. I was a kid back then and loved the game so much, I even built and painted a cardboard Kestrel model.
Also helps that I have a heinously large 512gb sd card lol
Do you back it up?
Visual Studio Ultimate is so heavy though. I wouldn't want to use it for anything other than the languages it was designed for.
The other thing is just how much I hate Windows Update. I can tolerate most parts of Windows, but WU is objectively terrible. It's incredibly slow, requires multiple restarts (sometimes forced!) amd sometimes fails with random errors that are impossible to troubleshoot.
It goes without saying that most Linux package managers work incredibly well in comparison.
I didn't say otherwise. I actually use both GNOME and KDE. GNOME on my personal machine and KDE on the work laptop.
