    I’ve wanted to like Linux for such a long time.

    But I don’t want to have to troubleshoot simple things when I’m at home just trying to enjoy myself. I don’t want to have to figure out why this or that won’t install or why the instructions for this piece of software aren’t working like they say it should.

    I use Windows because it’s just easy. Not great, but at least I can install applications with zero issues.

    The idea of Linux is awesome, but the execution is so messy.

      Well, honestly, most things in Linux these days have become very easy to do and running a typical desktop where you don’t have a lot of advanced stuff going on is just as easy as Windows. The problem for me is Linux has dipped down in quality so much that I can’t use it any more. They don’t seem to care about extensively testing everything on all use cases and rejecting anyone who says that it doesn’t work for them as “it works fine here, not a bug”.
