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?

I understand your points and agree with them. For me the experience with support has been quite opposite though... I can always find a solution (or at least an explanation) with Linux (I can go all the way down the rabbit hole to the source code if I would be so inclined) but with Windows it's always been just black magic rituals or random software from the internets that either work or tough luck.

Yeah, I've started to feel a bit of that on windows. At least with MS deprecating things that people used, or constantly changing your settings with every update. I guess a terminal script is no different than a magic black box in the same way that a program or driver is. Hmm. Good point.

This has been also the reality for me, btw you also forgot the "check this option hidden in 7 menus to see if it changes anything" in Windows.
