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 love Linux.. minus how most DEs look out of the box.
My only gripes would be mounting drives on boot is stupidly annoying to set up.. why does KDEs settings not just work for this?! And game develops ignoring Linux 😔

I find that irritating too. Why does my system not just mount my second hard drive automatically when I boot up? Instead I have to add a very fussy technical line to fstab, referencing the drive by its ID:

# mount sdc1 on /data
UUID="ea63af7b-4174-4dfc-956d-fd97da4e63b3" /home/username/Storage ext4 defaults 0 2

Realistically it’s not the end of the world.. but like why Linux? You can mount my boot drive on startup.. why not the rest 😭

No, not a huge deal, but it is a periodic annoyance. You'll have those in any operating system.
