I’ve tried several times. I’m pretty test savvy. Last time I tried I said I’m sticking with it for 3 months minimum to get a grip on it.
I lasted about 4 months before I went back to windows.
It just makes life hard. Windows might be tracking every moment of my usage but it just works as Jensun would say.
The amount of hours I spent reading posts and forums trying to figure out how to get things working the way I wanted.
Linux really needs to unify a bit. Stop being so fragmented. It’s all stupid having different versions of Linux that require different versions of software to work.
Until a single common standard is adopted it will never gain traction.
Plus they need to get away from the terminal. It’s not the 80s anymore.
I really don’t know your exact path through Linux but there are always options. As with all software, there are some kinks you have to get used to.
If you don’t like the terminal, use a distro that can run without it (Linux mint?).
If you want unified apps, use a desktop environment (lxqt, KDE, gnome), all the basic apps come from the same place.
In windows if you want more software, you have to install it, the graphics drivers are fragmented, the browsers are fragmented… I use windows for some work stuff and I find myself using the terminal more since switching to Linux because some commands allow for more customization and I don’t like searching GUIs for options.
As always, there is no problem if you don’t like Linux, stick to what’s comfortable for you. I just try to recommend Linux to chip away at windows marketshare so it doesn’t end up being a monopoly in the OS side.

The terminal is so much simpler than anything else
