Exactly this. Linux (and really anything except Windows) suffers from the 90-10 problem. The concept is that 90% of your workflow is easy. You’ll only spend 10% of your time and focus on it. But that remaining 10% of your workflow is a real bitch. You’ll spend 90% of your time just trying to get that remaining 10% working.
And sure, you may be able and willing to do this for your personal computer, where you have the ability to tinker on your own gear. But good fucking luck trying to convince a corporate IT team to spend 90% of their time trying to get 10% of your workflow working. Especially when it already works for everyone else on Windows. They’ll tell you to get fucked and require you to use Windows.
But windows it’s a pain to do everything everything is a pain in the ass getting anything working is a pain in the ass I no longer support any system with windows installed even as dual boot it causes too many problems it didn’t used to be like this like five years ago there’s and argument for what you’re saying and fifteen years ago it was completely true but its just not now it’s not just that Linux isn’t all there its that windows is fucking unusable now
It does do weird shit all and stuff breaks all the time. They created the ultimate vendor lock by not having any competition in the enterprise space. You also don’t work in a vacuum, you interact with other businesses and need to be compatible with them.
Don’t crash out because businesses are locked into Windows. If you are ever given a budget and told to make all of the tech here work, you will not move a business to Linux. At home I use Arch by the way.

I have been told that I did do that and no complaints so far
