How is thst wrong? I second this, and 1 and 2 are the reasons i am not on Linux yet wirh my main PC. Win 11 runs without issues for me, i cant install Essential Software and Hardware thag i use on Linux and Apple is expensive and i really dont like the Windowmanagement and some other Quirks of macOs. btw i use all three of them, win 11 on my main pc, linux on my old laptop and macOS at work.

    The comments are so vague as to be useless.

    Windows. Everything is straight forward and I can still make some custom or niche stuff work.

    I can say the same thing about Linux.

    I don't like Linux, because a lot of programs don't work, and I don't want to create my own 3D application or DAW from scratch.

    This sounds like a 2005 opinion. There is professional grade software on Linux (for example Pixar RenderMan). If there is a specific application a person needs that is Windows only (and there are many) that's fine, but suggesting the need write your own application for Linux from scratch is ridiculous.

    As for "a lot of programs don't work", I have no clue what that's supposed to mean... XD

    1. No one said linux doesnt work, the Person just said this is one point why He uses Windows.

    2. Building your own Software is definitely exaggerated.

    3. My graphics applications dont work properly (Affinity Suite), my Video Tool barely works although its supported natively (davinci), my DAW (maschine) and my music Hardware (maschine mk3) dont work at all. Installing my vsts is very Tricky (aome dont work at all). My cloud storage has no linux Client (proton drive). This is just the most important stuff for my use case, which keeps me from switching to Linux.

    I understand. Thank you for your response. :)

    I've used Linux exclusively since 2002 for school, work, hobbies, and gaming, and I sometimes forget how much is still missing.

    I tried Davinci for Linux and I agree, I could barely get it to work. XD

    What you're describing in 3. is the exact reason why I said "build software from scratch" btw. Some software just will never work properly or never work period. And usually, every Linux compatible software can technically do 80% of the stuff you need, but even that takes 10x the time and effort. I'm talking 3d applications like AutoCAD, cinema4d, DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton, video cutting like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere Pro, and this is not even talking about use cases where there's highly specific, proprietary or custom software.

    You either use Windows, or you pay with your time, effort and sanity.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a data scientist and software Dev and I know there are good reasons why Linux should be the golden standard. But I'm also a realist and while I love the idea of what Linux' goal is, it's a really hard sell for most non computer science people.
