i'd say if you gave linux a serious try again you would change your mind, but you dont seem to want that, so i'm just gonna wish you a nice day. Maybe just keep in mind the penguin will always welcome you back if you ever get fed up with the steady evolving windows bullshit.
As I said the programs I need to use do not work on Linux I've tried to get them to work on Linux and either they straight up won't run, or they run with terrible performance even with Wine. So it was never really my choice to like Linux.
At that point I gave up and just went back to Windows because realistically I just don't actually care that much. The point is if it isn't easy to use out of the box 99% of people are just going to consider it not worthwhile.
Besides I would only end up remoting into a Windows computer anyway in order to get work stuff done, so it just seems like unnecessarily adding a layer of complexity. Just so I can go "screw you Microsoft". It's not like they'll notice.
Would you mind sharing which programs?
