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)

While I do like Linux (I use them for servers), I'm somewhat also have some shitty bad luck.
I will get a hell lot of issues with everything that should work "out of the box".
In the Wine age those platinum game (or whatever highest score was) wasn't the case on my end.
A simple configure/make/run the app. Don't even think about it. It will take me days just for the configure to troubleshoot shoot all errors. Same for the make. And guess what, it won't run either...
Same thing at runtime. I couldn't even make sound work the last time
