This. I tried every major Linux distro recently, and every one had really basic problems. For example, Ubuntu and Mint don't let you configure the mouse wheel scroll speed. There are hacks but none work reliably. Do all Ubuntu users really scroll web pages incredibly slowly?
And then there are the missing apps. Want a really good, free git GUI client? Sorry, not on Linux. It's git FFS, Linux should have great dev tools. Same with file managers.
I used to be an Amiga user, I'm a C developer and like tinkering. But I also want something that just works for the basics. Sad to say but Windows, for all its faults, does work. Visual Studio does work. And all the open source apps I use like Kicad are on Windows.
I really want to move to Linux, but it's too much work to make it work. These days I have better things to do with my computer.
