Just compatiblity. I was Linux for a long while for work and gaming. Constant compatibility and hardware issues.
Even something like Zoom worked like shit on Linux half the time. Or was missing features.
Audio/Video hardware had issues too. Something as simple as a webcam became this giant problem. Configuring mice and keyboards was a nightmare.
This is a lot to do with companies not supporting Linux and having to use community created reverse-engineered stuff, so it's not all Linux's fault, but at the same time, it just became a pain in the ass to maintain and fix constantly.
Also games, as much as Steam/Photon/Wine have improved, there are just some things that don't work.
So, I switched back to Windows, and even if I prefer linux, I just can't have it as my daily driver. so WSL2 is great for me.
