Again, Install Linux, get rid of Microsoft shit.

Yeah, because Linux runs everything!

Except... No, it doesn't. I love Linux for specific uses, but let's be real: it's not a valid replacement for windows yet. Not for ALL types of users.

When it is, then I'll be out on every street corner with you with a sign. But until then, can we not gaslight all of Lemmy?

What are you missing on Linux?

Edit: Kinda weird to downvote for asking an honest question, but sure, knock yourselves out.

My art software, 99% of music software/plugins. Other than that, I'd be good to move to Linux. I've been dual booting for years now. But Linux isn't for everyone. There's a lot of stuff missing, and when everything works it's great. But troubleshooting isn't a slope of problems that increases gradually in the difficulty, it's actually a cliff.
