I'd consider myself a nerd but still prefer Windows.

Some years ago I was in a Vocational college for IT and I had to deal with Ubuntu, Debian and Opensuse. I hated every second of it. I also had to deal with iMacs but that's another story.

I'm a computer nerd. I do tech support for everyone in the family. I keep trying Linux intermittently and end up uninstalling it and find I can't use it as a daily driver. Although the day I will be able to use it is getting closer. The Steam Deck is helping with this. Also Chat GPT is great for finding solutions for things that either require trawling though tons of online forums or getting shamed for asking.

I use Linux frequently but mostly to run network services and automation- stuff that doesn’t require day to day interaction or has its own web gui.

As far as my desktop go to it’s windows because I can boot it up, install a bunch of shit I know will work out of the box, and start working. I could do that with Linux too but it would take quite a bit of effort to maintain.

I had this same issue and what helped was go for a dual boot with windows and slowly learn how to customize things so that I can be as productive as before.

Also, steam electron helped a lot with this transition, as I didn't have excuses to not change partitions between gaming and working/studying

My opinion on Linux is that it's (only) good for lightweight computing / mobile computing.

Such as Rasperry pis and Android devices.
