Yeah, it has better UI then linux. There is nothing controversial about it.
And when it comes to maintenance, yup there is less of it. Linux users are constantly dealing with this or that hardware not working, not working after update and what not.
Linux is better on the server. But for a user, nope.

Few examples (Windows 11):
- You cannot move taskbar to different edge of the screen.
- By default, search shows results from bing.
- Three finger swipe gesture animations to switch desktop or open task view are jarring.
- Explorer window shows partial UI first and then fills in the rest of UI.
- Ctrl+F or F3 doesn't focus on the search field in Settings app (and other MS apps that have search bar at the top of the window).
- Connect to external monitor and close the laptop lid, the laptop screen doesn't get disabled, it is still enabled and you can move windows to it.
- In tiling mode while resizing a window, causes other windows to show the app icon instead of their content.
Here is another amazing thing: All operating systems (even chromeOS these days) have a system settings to configure keyboard shortcuts, for some reason Windows doesn't (probably because all system level keyboard shortcuts are hard-coded in things like dwm.exe or explorer.exe).
Older versions of Windows have some aspects of UI better than Linux, and others worse. Newer versions of Windows are often worse in other ways too (although there are also a few benefits, but mostly it is worse).
good UI on Windows? are we talking about the same OS that uses UI paradigms from at least three different eras all in one?
and the little maintenance is laughable. force reboots galore on Windows.
