While I don't want to discuss the quality of any distro vs Windows, there is a big reason most of us use free software: because it is free. Whether for you it is because of free as in freedom or free as in beer specifically, quality may not have much to do with it.

In EU at least you can almost get free as in beer Windows, you can buy a fully legal 2nd hand (resold) Windows license for about $10, the price of a fancy beer.

Isn't Windows also basically free? Every laptop I buy has a Windows licence stuck to the bottom of it.

Windows is already free for ~everyone. Make less idiotic arguments.
