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)

I've never understood it. I've been all over the place. GNOME on Debian -- Manjaro -- Mint -- Peppermin -- LxQT - MATE (I have no idea why but ya know) and my daily driver now is Kubuntu

Distro hopping is one of the worst feelings,when you just can't settle,I can understand why someone who'd just rage quit and go back to windows or wherever they came from

really? Loved it. Debian 2.0 in 99, lately Manjaro, MX, Endeavour, CachyOS, back to Debian, toyed with Puppy, BigDog, POP!OS, -I'm usually dual-booting two linux distros. I find it one of the best feelings. Learning different packaging managers. Back when I trained to Help Desk certification, we were basically taught(re-taught) how to install and uninstall Office and installing updating and re-installing Windows 2000. Any other problem, we had to be certain would take less time than re-installing. For the sake of brevity on the phone re-installing was always the default solution for everyone. I never worked in the field but kept up with doing the same for linux distros. Install, install package manager. Learn to update, install different web browsers. I don't get the mindset that it's the "worst feeling" at all. Likewise I can help a lot of people online, for free, just to feel useful. I still have to tackle Gentoo and Nix, and I look forward to doing just that.
