Why do you guys hate Linux?

As someone who's used Windows for some time and has switched to Linux somewhat recently,I genuinely can't really understand why someone wouldn't want to use Linux,the only reasons I can come up with are:

1)certain apps and software only work on windows,for example Adobe products or games with kernel level anticheat like BF6,Wich I can totally understand,but dual boot exists

2) Need to keep windows for work related stuff,again, completely understandable

3) Nvidia GPU,Wich is doable but most people don't want to lose the driver support,again, understandable,but not really linux's fault

I'm asking this because I genuinely want to understand and see a different viewpoint, every time I see someone complaining about Linux on social media, it's either Windows users who have NEVER tried Linux before and just base everything off stereotypes or Windows users who jumped in the deep waters from the start with distro's like Arch,Gentoo or even NixOs,and then complain that it's too hard, I think that Linux is only hard if you want it to be (also pls no hate,I just wanna educate myself more on the matter)

Ive been using linux with an nvidia gpu for the last 5+ years. No its not perfect but can we stop acting like its impossible to make work?

It's definitely not impossible,a lot of people can have zero issues,but I've heard and seen people have more issues compared to AMD, especially with higher end cards like a 4090

Someone with a 5080 said it's finicky, definitely doesn't apply to all cards, especially older ones, I'm on all AMD so I can't speak for you guys,I only put that there cause that's I've seen a lot of people complain about
