Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

The miserable drivers for my video card and all the other little things that required hours of fiddling with to get working right. Also, how very few programs ran 100% with WINE. I went back to the simple life to get through school but I'm now eyeing Linux for the dev experience.
Exactly, but I get down voted for saying this. 😂
It happens lol I got someone telling me that "I just need to use the right settings!" D'oh, silly me, I always try to use the wrong settings. Nevermind the time it takes to look up & set that all up, if I only knew the right ones from birth 😆
Right!?! I don't think this post actually wanted to hear anything bad about Linux, and if they do you just get called a potato for being a dumb ass. 🤷♂️
Yeah, and I have nothing against Linux, I think it's wonderful and I'd switch in a heartbeat if it were more convenient than Windows. But the reality is that it's not for many of us who have tried it as our main OS
steam's proton extension (or mod, whatever) to wine has really increased the number of games that run well in wine.
these days most productivity "apps" are just web based, so wine isn't as relevant.
I keep a Windows partition around for a little better (~10%) performance in intensive games, but plan to ditch it when I upgrade my CPU.
Very nice, that's good to hear. Thanks!
AMD or NVIDIA? Also how long ago?
I found most prograns I need run on wine, you just need to use the right settings. Playonlinux and Lutris are useful for applications, not just games.
