I'm sorry, but nobody is forcing you to use Windows. If you can't find
an alternative, it's because you aren't looking very hard, same as for

Having already paid for it, so long as Windows works 'well enough' (tm),
there is little incentive to just pitch it and try something else.

I've been a Linux user for several (10+) years. But I've never pulled
Windows off a machine before it fell apart on its own.

Nor have I ever re-installed it. Ain't happenin' Jack.
