Windows changed shit up on me too many times, I kept having to relearn where the dick they hid the control panel, for instance. At a certain point I realized if I'm having to put in the time to relearn shit on windows every new version, why not just learn linux? At least I'm learning because I'm getting into something new and exciting by choice instead of being pissed I have to relearn it because some dickhead moved it around on me!
That was actually my experience. My Win 7 laptop died, I needed a new computer, bought one that came with Windows 8.1, and everything was different for no reason, down to whether you left click or right click on the system tray icons to get menus or control panel windows to appear. Switching from Windows 7 to Linux Mint felt like less of a jump, and the changes between versions of MInt aren't that drastic; they don't reshuffle the UI on a whim.
Its kind of funny how resistant to change Linux users are. For instance, people are still pissed about things that changed 15 years ago
