Go back to windows is not an option, it's a really horrible system. I dont see how people can use it without blowing their brains out.
It just works. I don't want to have to invest time in making my os work. I want to spend my time on my projects(which I use wsl for)
I totally understand the desire and satisfaction of having complete control over your os but a lot of people just want to be able to do simple stuff like game and browse the web which windows does just fine in my experience.
~~It just works~~ it's just better supported because of the monopoly Microsoft established
I'm saying it just works, I didn't say anything about why that is the case.
I did
I'd argue Linux falls short on audience that needs a little more than browsing and simple games, but are themselves a little less than sysadmins. That's the audience that is really hurt by the transition. The rest (simple as well as power users) should be just fine.
Even still, with Windows being the mainstream option, it just goes as a no-brainer and a default solution for the majority of people, regardless of how good or bad it is.
Vendor lock in. Still melts the brain.
