I have had linux as a primary OS off and on for years since about 2005. I've ventured o different distribution, SUSE would provide better out of box support for hardware I couldn't make work.

Ultimately I'm always back to using Debian. Today I'm less need/desire for bleeding edge so I'm on the stable channel. My newest computer build is AMD and gaming has never been better on Linux, I could argue it is match to Windows as I've had my fair share of issues running games their (usually on the older side though).

Why, well that is the hard one. My main example is "turn it off and on again" does not work in Linux. If the system does not work, then it is consistent, and a solution must be found.

For my profession I deal with Windows applications and I can see where the appeal their is. You get a platform which helps you integrate different things together in one administrative panel. But even with Windows following along toward containers, that ecosystem is dieing.

Linux provides tools and convention to plug things together, Windows plugged things together and told you to do the same.
