Exactly! You suffer regardless of what you choose, but how you suffer and what for differs.

You suffer for a corporation when you use Windows, and they get richer and greedier.

When you use Linux, your suffering might push you to break and waste a weekend fixing an upstream bug, from which the entire world benefits for free. When you use Linux, your suffering builds positive karma, and next life you get to reincarnate as a cat, released from the hell that is software engineering.
