For me, I switched in 2016 because Microsoft borked my upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10, and I was mad enough to switch to the only competitor I knew of that would run on my hardware. Start menu stopped working, icons would disappear at random, even ctl+alt+del didn't always work.
Supposedly it happened because I selected the "keep my files and programs" option, but my question is why they offered the option to begin with if it wasn't going to work?
Coincidentally, Linux actually converted me into a techie
