I still use linux and very much appreciate the ease it provides for developers to setup their projects and get going but.....

  • I have tried various flavours like manjaro, ubuntu, mint, parrot, kali, zorin and each of them consumes more battery power even on low usage which is a hassle because you have to keep the battery in charging state as won't last more than 3-4 hrs. (i7 am talking abt windows 10 vs linux)

  • secondly I also do gaming and photo editing which isn't possible on Linux for some many games and softwares. adobe photoshop isn't available on Linux and most games don't provide a linux version .

  • with so many tuning parameters you can easily lead to something disastrous
