What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?

That is...true, actually. The longer I use Linux, the more I'm like "....but what if, man, what if I ditch Arch for Fedora or NixOS or give Pop_OS! another chance (and i very well might when Cosmic launches)?" And sometimes I do...and then always come crawling back.

Going back to Windows full time ain't even crossed my mind for a hot minute. Partly because i have a spare driver running it for emergencies (that i barely use anyways, only because Windows literally runs one important app that I need, that I can't run on Linux), and partly because going back means being stuck with Windows 11 again, and I really dislike Windows 11's design choices, personally (and Microsoft in general, but i digress).

Windows 10 can 100% still be installed. I say that from a Win10 install.

Oh I know it can be installed, but after the headache I got re-installing 10 once before and then trying to get 11 running on...anything, really, i just decided "you know what? What will be will be at this point. I'm not gonna need it for much anyways." when i finally got 11 to accept and install into a random external drive that i never really used (it didn't like the one i had inside my PC reserved specifically for it. Somehow...).

(Note: this was a while back, so installation could be a helluva lot better now and i have upgraded a bit since then but, shrug. Already got Windows ready to go on a drive, and only have it because I might need it moreso than me actually wanting to have it, so meh)

I can't anymore. Leads to system crashing randomly. 11 works unfortunately.
