Like I get there are several reasons people remain. It just feels kinda weird to listen to a podcaster or youtuber go off on twittter, yet they still use twitter exclusively. (media.kbin.cafe)

Honestly, People on lemmy are outlandishly pro Linux. I will say that the primary thing that people use, Twitter, Reddit, windows, ends up working a lot better than the alternatives. I love my instance but it's downtime is like 1 nines at this point. If that. I dedicate time to check out Linux distros every year since 2012 when it stopped being my daily driver and constantly hit problems that I just do not want to deal with.

What does "1 nines" mean?

By the way thanks for actually trying out Linux before deciding that Windows works better for you.

One nine is 90% uptime, three is 99.9% etc.

Ah, I see. 90% is unbearable for me. I would move away from any instance with a uptime of less than 95% no matter how much their ideology aligns with mine (unless the admins promise to improve it).

No problem. I make games for Windows/Linux and still believe Linux one day can be for me again. I still script in bash using WSL rather than batch or powershell. I use an array of open-source software rather than Windows-locked apps. This year I've used OpenSuse, Debian, Pop_OS, Manjaro, Garuda, and Linux Mint.
