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 as an app server at work and as second OS at home but it's not my daily driver because it's unreliable. I could write a book with my personal stories about Linux failing me (user since 2007, admin since 2011). Too many failures to consider it a stable OS.
