Linux is more like a family of operating systems. Each can be different but the share many commonalities. The only time i spend searching up fixes on Linux is for my coding projects where I intentionally am looking for something to fuck around with. Anyone can choose whatever OS they like, I am just quite unhappy with the state of Windows with all its issues. Forcing Cortana to listen and fingerprint using microphone and browser history, forcing upgrades to windows 11 (which is slow AF), it breaks Windows to uninstall edge browser, few customization options and no custom theming with built-in tools, the search bar never giving the correct results and redirecting to bing, etc. Its so limited and the only thing it has going for it is that developers make software for it. I have spent so much time on windows fixing driver issues, internet buggyness, apps behaving erradically, etc. So Linux is an option but of course learning a new system takes time and research: we all had to learn how to use windows at some point.
