So, I was a long term GNU/Linux fanboy. But... it just didn't work in many cases as people wanted to, well, kind of force me into believing it. Not once, on many stationary PCs and laptops did I find a well stable distribution without any bugs or something preventing me to use it easy and for all my tasks. And lately it's all about drivers, the graphic ones for me. I'm talking about installing things and it just works for time being. I had major episodes lately with Windows and it's updates but that doesn't clear the fact that I had major issues with Linux too. I know there's bunch of commands to fix it but that is not near the point of what I'm heading at nor is it something you should do. OS in essence should just get the work done in most cases. I still find GNU/Linux easier for development purposes, but I also require Windows only tools. And having those cross OS things that make it work on other platform is not something I want. Example is, my wife needs Adobe tools, and I like to play games once in a while and I really would rather shut down PC and go out for a walk or coffee than spend 20min or more making things work or just hoping it will work. On the other hand seeing how Apple treats customers and their prices there's no way I'm paying with my own money for that kind of computer. I mean not willing to fix stuff and suing people that do is not the type of company I want to support. So kind of stuck with WSL on desktop and it's Windows UI :D, and dualboot Windows/Linux on laptop. At the end of the day I'm working more towards being free from the computers which was reverted during COVID-19 but I hope it gets better and I do more walks and coffe.

Pop!_OS for the drivers. Just sayin'.
Now that's one distribution I haven't tried
