My personal grievances are using a laptop with ubuntu. No wireless casting of display to tv, no good smart phone as a mouse/keyboard control, the screen is sometimes sideways for no reason.

But Linux and stuff is interesting still. I'm just not ready for it as a daily driver.

as a person who has it installed and has an OLED monitor, am not pictured. Of the few things why I haven't bothered connecting my laptop to my monitor ever yet, though it happened recently for KDE plasma

Idk, I installed fedora 40 some time ago, and many things were broken out of the box. In that regard windows seems a bit more friendly to a new user

I use windows on one of my computers just in case some friend wants to play some invasive anti-cheat game...

What I want from an OS:

Free, or a one time fee

Tells the date and time

Has a folder system that is indexed and easily searched.

Supports Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and Steam.

That's it. Genuinely cannot think of any reason I would ever want my computer OS to do anything more than that.

This clip lives in my head rent free.

I need CAD software, but I don't think AutoCAD runs on Linux.

Not all games with anti cheat work on Linux.

I'm not watching movies in Linux, I don't really care about HDR, but I've had nothing but horrible experiences out of video editing products in Linux. If it's not a skin for FFmpeg, My project has about a 10% chance of making it through to usable output.
