Compatibility, though it’s usually forced, like the Xbox controller with a drm chip that you need a workaround for
Some games don’t run (runs badly) on Linux.
I have to work on a windows computer so I’m regularly reminded of the horrors that is W11.
Would you mind listing which ones?
I’m a pretty prolific gamer, and haven’t found one that doesn’t work just fine on my linux desktop.
cyberpunk ran terribly on my gtx 1080 under linux, like less than half the fps I got on windows. (but my amd card gets +20% fps compared to windows lol)
Nothing. But I already use Windows, macOS, and Linux. Linux is my main OS, but to develop stuff for the other systems, I have to keep them around. I hate using them, but I have to.
Minor compatibilities aside, Nothing that Windows itself has to offer, maybe some wallpapers I can just get online anyways lol
I only play two games and cant for the life of me get them to run properly on linux, and i only start the computer when i want to play so windows it is.
Bluetooth on Linux fucking sucks
I have a small, high DPI, laptop screen (<14") and I haven’t been able to get all or even most of the software I use to scale properly. It always looks weird and eye strain is a real worry for me, so until this problem is solved I’ll be a casual

The ease of buying a quality laptop without having to worry about if it will run well with my OS.
I’ve been using MacOS for about 8 years at work and I never really taken to it. It’s fine and I can do my work but I won’t use it if I hadn’t to (unless the only alternative was Windows). But one thing I really like about Macs is that you can buy one and you won’t have any headaches with battery life, software compatibility etc. You get decent hardware (let’s ignore the whole 8GB on an M3 = 16GB on other machine debacle) and know that it will work decently well with 3rd party software/hardware and if something breaks you can just bring into an Apple store.
While there are dedicated Linux sellers (System76, Tuxedo Computeres, Starlabs), I’m hesitant to spend 2k on a computer just to find out that the build quality is subpar, the battery life sucks or that customer support will just ignore my requests (read some bad experiences on the Starlabs subreddit).
There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn’t otherwise, because there aren’t enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don’t really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)
At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don’t need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.
Nothing. Not even Wayland and Systemd will force me off of Linux.
Right? Even the “ick” parts of linux i’d take over osx or windows
That’s the neat part: you don’t have to take the icky parts. Just use artix instead of arch to not use systemd
I’m thinking about whonix+qubes… Just because it’s the best… https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Install
The main problem that I heard is that it is power hungry for some reason
templeos
very daily drivable!!
I’m done with Windows myself. The only time I ever touch it is for work when I gave to deal with some of our VMs for Photoshop users
I really miss interpreting the vague random words from God. Funnily enough, God via TempleOS was what told me to transition to Linux in the first place!
Amen sibling.
