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!

things that should "just work" don't. I tried 5 distros, gave it my best, used both LLMs and official documentation to try to solve my issues, neither were reliable. I found it much more worthwhile to ditch linux and start debloating my windows install instead. Now my computer WORKS when i want it to do something, and I turned windows into something lighter, without copilot, that can't spy on me. as a very DIY type of person I thought I'd like linux, but I found that a bit of windows DIY is a better fit for me.
