I really want to use linux but for me its the software. Games I play use anticheat that doesn't work. Software I use for 3d printing doesn't work without hours of workarounds. VR is poorly supported if at all. Usually every year I'll try linux, use it for a month or so, then be forced back to windows after running into a hard block, with the dozen ads forced down my throat welcoming me back. Hopefully one day I can commit to it.

Yeah this is my experience too, but different software. Sometimes there are ways to get something to work after hours/days of tweaking, and sometimes the answer is just no. It's unfortunate, I like *nixes, and have used them off and on for 30+ years, I just can't do it as a daily driver.
