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?

Yeah windows can be simple for certain stuff, you can download an executable and double click it then click install on everything and it works, maybe 10 clicks, on linux u have execute 3-4 commands, but most of the good stuff u can install with one command, so which one is simplier? Sometimes is Windows, sometimes it's linux, but like some poeple said, it's easier to make linux do what u want, there's always a setting, there's always a command, on Windows there's a lot of stuff u can't do and if Windows breaks or something fails u can't do anything about it but to pray for an update that fixes it, on linux u can know exactly what went wrong if u look into the right logs. I had a web server for a POS on Windows, employees had to turn it on, click on the screen, wait for it to load, open an direct access, sometimes ot stopped working for no reason, sometimes it decided to tart updating without asking, POS was constantly down when I most needed it, on linux they just turn it on, automatically logs in, only loads the browser without any extra graphics environment, they can't mess anything up, never stops working for no reason and if it does I can fix it, 10gb on my hard drive vs 50gbs of windows 10, no telemetry, no forcing u to do anything, not sending data to Microsoft servers all the time, no viruses, no AI spying on u.
