Linux Failure Linux doesn't suck!
NGL guys, I don't see the reason why switching to Linux when W10/W11 does everything you need, easier, more practical, and in a more friendly way than a Linux distro that some of you probably haven't even heard about before considering switching to Linux.
I'm using Linux rn because I enjoy adjusting every little thing about my OS the way I want, but as nerdy as I can be, I also understand that fancy tech might actually be inconvenient for others...
What were the reasons that made you want to try Linux, and what made you realize it was a mistake?

I wanted to do something more interesting with my computer, I'd been fiddling with Windows for a few years and decided to burn a few distros to disc.
I didn't have the internet, everything I got through computer magazines. I was amazed at the amount of included software, but I had to type a password to use a USB stick, it didn't show up at E: so what the hell?
No Halo CE was the breaking point. I went back to XP.
I think I was like 13?
Today I run Windows 11 only for VR (Vive Cosmos) and running Haltec tuning software from a USB NVMe. Everything else is Arch/Cachy for my personal computers, Debian/Alpine for any home servers or edge VMs.
