i used linux many times on desktop and always had problems so i left.

some of them are,needing to compile kernel module for my laptop fans speed control and enrolling it in MOK, ms office 365 not working,and most recently on my latest trying of linux just today. kubuntu refusing to boot after i installed it with luks2 encryption.

so i just use windows 11 now .

    Set up gentoo while in college. Switched major to IT, but stayed on gentoo for about 5 years.

    Got out of college and was dual booting windows for gaming. Eventually got a job in IT that was managing a large Windows environment with some non-windows infrastructure.

    Realized that the world runs on windows. Eventually lost interest in figuring out why things (audio, video, wifi) would stop working and having no community with a similar setup as mine. Got tired of evaluating random config files that didn’t have any cohesion with ther OS. Additionally, I started using enterprise hardware which had even better windows support than consumer-grade.

    Then there’s the app support. I have software for my vehicles or stereos that only runs on windows for example. At another time was a DJ and the best software was on Windows.

    I still test distro out occasionally but it’s dumb shit that keeps me from using it as a general purpose OS. I’ve tried popos and mint and find it usable but had problems with gpu drivers.

    At the end of the day though, I just need a browser, and a few apps that only run on windows. Why would I dual boot and maintain 2 OS’s when I’m perfectly capable of dealing with only 1?
