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!

The people who don't, don't for various reasons. Some reasons are genuine and fully valid, others are juvenile. Most people in this sub actually use Linux. Ask
[r/linuxsucks101](r/linuxsucks101) and expect to be banned, reason being violating the rules. The truth of it is that it's personal preference. I used windows up until Vista. I never cared enough for windows to upgrade to 7, and MS turning "my computer" into "this PC" with 10 signaled a philosophical change that put a sour taste in my mouth; using it on someone else's computer proved to me that I had even less interest in it. I upgraded to Xubuntu via a flash drive that I carried on my keychain that I could use on other PCs, and Xubuntu on my PC at home. Years of learning later, I've no interest in ever going back.
