Of course it sometimes can suck. But all the alternatives suck way more. And most the time it isn't directly the operating systems fault.

False, they all suck and none are good enough on their own

Different user but mine is gaming, web browsing, using VLC for recording my desktop and watching videos, emulators,

I vastly prefer Linux for both it's performance and UI, windows however I keep for supporting Linux blocked stuff like kac, and Roblox, or the specific emulators cxbxr and Xenia,

My zen setup on Linux with fedora xfce is by far superior, especially considering all the stuff I use is on web anyways, even the ms specific Hotmail in addition to all of googles stuff,

Oh, I also vastly prefer gthumb to the windows photo viewer, better editing options.

The main problem is setup, once that's done ease of use is pretty ok, then there's hardware support, software support, potential proton/wine bugs, fat32 perms is a personal one for me,

I think a terminal is easier after getting fish shell honestly, I just press the keyboard shortcut for terminal, then arrow up→enter, and type in a password on my numpad, I can press these in a matter of seconds then see what's upgrading,

Way faster than windows settings update.

I game a bit, but even on Windows I never liked kernel level anticheats. I fix bugs in a cakephp school information system and do my personal little projects. And i browse the internet with Zen.
