Half my peripherals not working/having linux software support is a major blocker for me. Plus a ton of QOL stuff or ways of doing stuff that I've gotten used to on Windows.
That's wild. What peripherals are you using that don't work in Linux?
Logitech doesn't have a version of their software for Linux so I can't modify my G502 wireless mouse and Pro X Wireless headset (horrible name) at all nor, more importantly, check their battery life.
My Xbox controller's dongle doesn't work either (tried to install the Xone driver but couldn't get it to work with secure boot after many hours of trying).
I never got to trying to run VR on Linux cuz I always got frustrated before I could get to that, but I've heard a lot of times that it just doesn't work well or at all on Linux.
Then you add on all the small things that I like how Windows does more than Linux (or at least any distro I tried) and I just can't see the point in switching.
My OS is supposed to be a tool that lets me use my computer how I want. When I have to spend half of my time tinkering with it to do what I want it to do, I don't see the point anymore.
