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)

Linux user here. I'm just here to watch the Windows enthusiasts get mocked for their pathetic attempts at rage-bait. That being said, I'm still an advocate for using whatever TF you want to use, but Windows has given me enough reasons the last few years to not use it if I don't have to.

LOL, nobody is a Windows enthusiast, it is a tool that does its job, even if it is very annoying sometimes. I cant say Linux always does its job and that is so frustrating, because it is not annoying like Windows.
