    Great write-up. I had similar problems with trying to get Linux; lots of manual work to keep it running. Even more so with Manjaro/Arch.

    The breaking point was not being able to use a Sound Blaster audio card. Spent hours on that before just getting a simple external device for audio. Sounds not as good.

    Sometimes I just want to get something done and not fuss with it.

      I recently had lots of problems with Docker on Windows while developing a Python application running in a Docker container. Once I copied the exact same repository onto a Linux machine, some of the issues (race conditions, certificate trust issues) just went away.

      Anecdotal, sure, but most of the decisions for or against an OS are anecdotal. I’m just sad I’m stuck with Windows currently, because it seriously impairs my productivity.
