Installing various Linux distros definitely loses its charm after a while. I lost interest in that 18 years ago after I gave Debian a try. After a few years I settled on the XFCE desktop, and have never looked back. When I need to use MSWindows I just install Cygwin and carry on as usual.
As a desktop Linux doesn't offer any advantage besides avoiding Windows UI churn. As an embedded system or server, or for automating system administration, there is no comparison.
