I'd be willing to try linux again, but the thing that stops me every time is having to go into terminal and start building my f'n software and manually updating or fixing some terminal only setting that is breaking things
I absolutely refuse to use an operating system for casual use that requires daily terminal knowledge and endless googling to remember and use.
It is what it is, but I do enough of this stuff professionally that I want an operating system that works from the second you push the power button with peripherals and software that work instantly after plugging in.
The second I'm digging through old forums looking for some multi-line arcane terminal script to paste to make things work, I boot back into something else and delete the linux partition

Obvious troll is obvious.

The obvious troll is describing exactly why most people don't use linux.

Linux desktop is awful. At least WSL2 saved me from the nightmare that is GNOME/KDE/etc

I like the Mac workflow a lot better.
Previously on more user friendly distros like Ubuntu I didn't feel that the advantages over Windows were significant enough to warrant certain software suites being unavailable (adobe, autocad, etc.). And lightweight distros like Arch caused too much headache even with the wiki and knowing "what you were doing."
Arch now feels both relatively easy to use day to day, while still being incredibly customizable with almost no bloatware. The only real problem is certain almost non-negotiable utilities like PulseAudio not necessarily being as high quality as most of the user utilities.
