Why people gave up using linux?

The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

Because it refuses to work well without constant tinkering.

I picked up a raspberry pi 5 to use as my desktop at home, and tried pi OS, Ubuntu, KDE Plasma, all of which could connect to my home wifi network, but none of which would provide reliable upload or download speeds. Ongoing issues with connection quality to my Bluetooth speaker. Trying to find fixes online is challenging.

I wound up installing android, and everything just works.

So... You're aware that all the things listed are Linux at their core, right? Android runs on the Linux kernel.

Constant tinkering really means understanding how the system works; not to mention a system (be it Mac/win/lin) which needs no modification is one unused. The only way construction in NYC would stop being a 'problem' is if the city were dead.

Android is Google/Linux not GNU/Linux tho. You can't even create a damn symlink.
