ill never get sick of this meme format lol so funny
This is so true recently because recently developements in linux OSes are too fast
Problems?
I need to dual boot Windows for my stupid Xbox games and stupid Office that don't run in Wine. 😭
One does not simply "switch back". Anyone that stops using Linux was never converted from M$ or A₽₱£€ in the first place, and either was briefly testing it and it didn't work out for them, trying it under duress and it didn't work out for them, or trying it to sound less obviously lying or decades out if date when talking it down. Real Linux users only convert others, or tell you it's actually GNU/Linux, or make sure new users trying out Mint use Debian edition. Real Linux users would use a separate partition or computer for anything that absolutely requires windows that they are unable to part with, even though it can be a pain and windows will periodically try to replace your multi os friendly bootloader with it is own.
All of the problems so far
Most people that I've seen go back to Windows are people who tried something like Fedora as their first distro for some reason, and then left because they found it too complicated. Instead of going for an easier one like Mint
That is the quirk of being splintered in so many different distros, and all the users recommending a different one.
It is by far the biggest reason why Linux hasn't gone mainstream.
New users are having to deep dive into all the different possibilities just to find the one that does what they want, before they can even start the process of installation.
Compare that to Windows: just install the latest one
Or Mac: you are forced to use the latest one.
