I use Windows and largely my computer usage these days is gaming and some related activities, and things are most definitely not fine and I don't know of anyone else who thinks they are.
What they are, is basically all we have. Thanks mostly to WINE and Valve, Linux gaming is now almost completely tolerable, but it certainly isn't perfect and there are huge gaps in capability (VR, for one). So as much as we hate what Windows has become we are unable to switch to it without making some pretty big sacrifices.
Instead we use LTSC editions, O&O ShutUp 10, and some other third party utilities to mitigate the bullshit.
Lack of VR on Linux is why my custom tower spends most of its powered-on time booted into Windows at this point. I play Beat Saber custom maps for exercise and that's not easy to replace.
