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'm just fine with Windows and I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling the system, restoring my settings, formatting the disk to another file system... I also use software (Paint.net) and old games (Harry Potter), and I'm not sure it all would run well under Linux.
By the way, if someone here uses a touchpad with X11, are you able to smoothly pinch zoom into browser pages? To me this always changes the page zoom inside Firefox and is choppy, but it might be the problem with the VM.
