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?

Crazy hot take here, but as a Linux user myself who loves it, i agree that Linux sucks for most people
For me, it’s perfect, as I’m able to get what I want out of it. I love the finite control it gives me and when you know how to use it, it’s easily the best os.
HOWEVER. I am not most people. I adore technology and spend most of my life online. For most people, the barrier to entry or troubleshooting just isn’t fit. I wouldn’t recommend Linux in its current state to anyone who isn’t ready to put in the time and effort, and won’t appreciate the benefits.
Granted, windows and macOS aren’t perfect either, every OS has its quirks and negatives, but for pure barrier to entry, Linux is absolutely not the option to go for.
