What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?

Inconsistency of things, can't change things easily, random outdated stuff that would help if it wasn't abandoned several years ago and patched together to barely work. Gaming on Linux isn't good, so so much distros and not a lot of information besides "whatever you like". Hard to find things online because of outdated posts or just "top 10" type sites.
Windows is just plug and play, with a few apps that remove most annoyances. Nearly all games and modding of games are mostly just works.
As someone who dailied Linux for years and years and whose primary use of my PC is to game... I have to disagree with you. The only title in my entire Steam library that doesn't work is Halo: Infinite, and that only because I'm using an Intel ARC card which has a known issue running Infinite on Linux due to an incompatibility between a specific set of DirectX 12 calls and Vulkan. If I had chosen to upgrade to a new AMD card instead, I'd still be running Linux. But I wanted to support Intel, so here we are. When I'm done playing around on Infinite, I'll switch back and never think about Windows again.
Hell, some of my library runs BETTER on Linux than on Windows with the ARC card. The only game that runs better on Windows is Halo: Infinite, and that's only because it literally doesn't run at all on Linux. 😂
Wish it was like that for me. I duel boot Linux and I often times get to frustrated at basic things with gaming in Linux, like installing mods through vortex and Windows only mod managers in Linux I just switch to Linux and not much trouble.
Note I'm not a seasoned Linux user I know the basics but when I have to go through multiple configs and websites just to have one program work properly, it kinda just ruins it
Yeah, that's fair. Linux has been my daily driver for like... 8 years now? And I dabbled with it for some time before that. I've gotten to a point where I'm MUCH more comfortable doing things the Linux way than I am doing things the Windows way. I also have to admit I don't do much modding for my games, and the little bit that I do is often either a.) Supported/managed by the game itself, or b.) Because I still install the majority of my mods by hand rather than through a mod manager.
