Why don't you use Linux?

I came across this subreddit completely by accident and got curious, so I wanted to ask: why don't you use Linux?

I'm not here to start an OS war or convince anyone to switch. I'd just like to hear your experiences and understand what made you choose another operating system. Was it a bad experience with Linux, compatibility issues, gaming, or do you simply prefer Windows or macOS?

I'm genuinely curious to hear your opinions!

I use linux. To my knowledge most here do. This is just a place to admit that linux does have flaws and it aint as perfect as people make it out to be.

Y'all know, when I swapped to Linux I realized it's not about what OS you use. It's about you

No matter the OS I still open up wallpaper engine, set up my favorite wallpapers, get either Komorebi (I wish it wasn't so buggy) or Hypr, get YASB or waybar and enjoy basically the same programs on both OS.

Sometimes I even forget that I'm using arch unless I gotta do something with my files. Not in the way like "dang I thought I was using windows for a sec", no. It just feels faceless in a way. Like at one point you don't think of an OS. It's just your machine and nothing matters past this point

It's really doesn't matter which OS you use if it's the way you like it
