I’ve always used it as my primary driver, so I know very well how to get the most out of it and customize it to my standards. Some of the software I use has no acceptable replacement on other OS. I don’t experience even a fraction of the problems that are reported online.
It’s a bother but it can be limited somewhat via toggles and DNS blocking.
Not all of us just use our computers as a hobby, I don’t have the time to figure out Linux and make things run in wine or proton, and fixing things that break from updating that software is annoying.

That’s funny, not having time to deal with shit (like stopping Windows from spying, serving ads, and otherwise abusing me) is exactly why I use Linux.
Yeah, for me windows just works although with a few annoying nags but not enough to make the effort to switch feel worth it. I was going to buy some new drives to make the switch easy but then prices skyrocketed and I don’t want to pay those prices.
Pretty much use it only for the web and games through steam, which is probably the reason for not running into issues.

Unlike Windows, Linux ‘just works.’
That takes a few minutes, it’s not like Linux doesn’t have stuff I’ve gotta spend time to fix too.
Yup
