I don't like that a company (e.g. Microsoft) can dictate so much about what happens on my computer. With Windows 10, it's pretty obvious not everything Microsoft does is good for consumers. I'd say that's the main issue. The other is that for my use, Windows has some serious problems. For example, I'd like to automate a lot of tedious stuff, but doing it is pretty difficult in Windows. In Linux, it's usually very easy if you have any idea about what you're doing. One example is updates, which are familiar to pretty much every computer user. In Windows, more often than not you have to restart the computer after updating the OS. In Linux, there's no need for it almost ever, and you don't even have to closer the programs you're currently using even if they're being updated! (Mind you, the update gets applied only after restarting the program, but still - no need to close the program while the update is being installed.) Considering the slowness of updating Windows, that alone can be a big thing.
