All the hassle I had to go through to tweak, fix and constantly maintain Windows was one of the major reasons why I ultimately switched to Linux on my desktop. At some point it all just becomes way too much of a hassle, much more than the tinkering I might have to do on Linux every now and then.

People constantly shit on Linux for not being as user friendly, but are completely blind to all the garbage they have to do to keep their Windows system running.
