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

    I just found every little thing so hard in Linux.

    Screens, scaling, nvidia drivers, games… Even spent an hour on gnome trying to get my desktop background image to fill the whole screen instead of repeating to fill the space. Solution ended up being download an image editor and resize the image to be the exact same size as my screen resolution. Tried KDE and kept hitting 100% CPU bug

    In the end I just wanted a pc that worked, so went back to Windows with WSL.

    Seems a perfect combo. Do my dev in WSL, and the desktop just works.

    However I’m getting increasingly frustrated at every UI change Microsoft make… Which is what made me try Linux in the first place. If Microsoft Win7 and early 10 was great, I wish they’d stop touching UI and just improve under the hood

        No, already burnt out from reinstalling different distros. I try Linux desktop every couple of years and it’s always the same frustrations. I’ll give it another go next year
