Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

Couldn't have dual monitors due to Nvidia drivers not working correctly. Couldn't play Overwatch. Deep Rock Galactic ran very badly and slowly. I've used Linux in the past for years but it's just not good on a gaming laptop.

Not being able to play overwatch or any other blizzard/activision/vivendi/microsoft crap it's a feature.

ah yes, those highy sought after delights of being restricted, linux is not bad, it's just like a very strict parent that takes away all your gaming consoles and tells you it's for your own good, and you know what? i'm happy to be violated everyday by the whims of such a helicopter parent, it's a feature!!! If possible I would like daddy Linux to remove all my rights to music, movies, entertainment, and leave me only a code editor, a console and a chatroom with my employer, that way I would only work night and day to make money, it would be heaven to be trapped into a world where my only possible thoughts are of code and work.

That's exactly what companies do when they decide that you can play their games only on their platforms at their own rules
