I am sorry you have such passionate hatred for something a bunch of nerds tried to do for everyone else for free, to be nice. I am also sorry you have apparently not tried gaming on Linux in the past ~3 years. It can't be comfortable having all that pent-up anger inside you.

I myself used to be like you, namely around the early 2010s when Linux distros started gaining GUIs that weren't stuck in the 90s. Where they looked sleek and modern and oh god were they not at all, they just looked that way. I tried to make it work, but every time I had to boot back to Windows to do something I eventually just ended up staying in Windows. I can't fathom how fucking archaic and awful it would've been to use in the 90s/early 00s, you tried to struggle through that for three years? I barely made it a few months with Ubuntu 10.04 in ~2010. Something I said then, and still say now to Linux dorks who don't "get it", is that "some of us want to work on their computer, not work on their computer." I just want shit to work. I don't want to troubleshoot or tweak or fiddle-fuck with settings. My OS is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself -- if I'm spending more time fucking with the OS than I am using other programs on it, something has gone dearly wrong.

Having said that, I switched to Mint about a year and a half ago, and it works pretty well for me, not nearly as many headaches as I recall when I tried Linux ~15 years ago. When I printed something from a network printer and it just worked without bullshit issues, I was floored. There's still the occasional hiccup, but then, I also had to deal with occasional hiccups on Windows as well, and the terminal isn't nearly so scary when you're used to dealing with the Group Policy Editor and PowerShell. I can count the times I've had to boot into Windows since on my fingers, it's definitely less than 10. One of the things I think I love most is that I can choose to postpone updates, or restarting for them, as long as I want without the computer thinking it knows better than me. I got shit to do, I'll get there when I get there -- and having Windows go "nuh-uh, you're restarting now" pissed me the fuck off.

Having said all that, I will freely admit and agree with you that a large portion of the Linux community is made up of elitist twats who will tell you to go read xyz instead of being in any way directly helpful. Nerds are not generally known for their social skills. However, it really doesn't do anyone any favors to be needlessly inflammatory. If Windows works for you and you like it, great, I'm glad you're happy with it. But there's simply no reason to be so aggressive over Linux existing, especially now that it's finally becoming tolerable even for former Linux-loathing users like me.
