I use all three. I have Windows on one of my machines that I use occasionally for gaming. I use Macs for work since that's what all my corporate machines comes with and I daily drive Linux and use it for all my home servers.

Some games don't run (runs badly) on Linux.

I have to work on a windows computer so I'm regularly reminded of the horrors that is W11.

Compatibility, though it's usually forced, like the Xbox controller with a drm chip that you need a workaround for

Game Maker is still only in beta for Linux. They warn against working on serious projects on it because it can just randomly break them.

Nothing. But I already use Windows, macOS, and Linux. Linux is my main OS, but to develop stuff for the other systems, I have to keep them around. I hate using them, but I have to.

What on earth is a TempleOS?

I own an IT company. We are some sort of base metal partners with MS. I remember a huge box of "Select" CDs turning up back in the day. Nowadays we get demands for customers. ie we should be making more cash for MS. Its all one way - take, take. take.

I'm not a massive fan of owning a company and working for another one. So I don't. MS are receding into the rear view window.

Video editing softwares definetely, kdenlive is nothing compared to stuff like sony vegas.

Inconsistency of things, can't change things easily, random outdated stuff that would help if it wasn't abandoned several years ago and patched together to barely work. Gaming on Linux isn't good, so so much distros and not a lot of information besides "whatever you like". Hard to find things online because of outdated posts or just "top 10" type sites.

Windows is just plug and play, with a few apps that remove most annoyances. Nearly all games and modding of games are mostly just works.

I'm having weird issues with my Wifi where it will just suddenly stop working (Plasma will show "no available connections") and I have to hard reset the machine because Linux won't shut down otherwise. It's not a hardware issue since it doesn't happen on Windows.

I am dualbooting but booting to windows fucks up my Bluetooth but I wanna boot to windows to play cyberpunk (I get almost half the fps on linux for that game spesifically), to play modded skyrim and fallout and last but not least run my ai chatbot for text adventures through koboldcpp (too difficult to build from scratch on linux) and oh fortnite, oh also roblox because I somehow fucked up grapejuice on linux and it crashes, if someone would.like to help me troubleshoot that hit me up. Other than that linux is awesome tho. Recently got.my openmw mods working. It is a treat.

I tried to daily Linux on my laptop but gave up after about 6 months. The two major issues for me were the speakers amp and the fingerprint reader not being supported. The speakers wasn't that big of a problem because audio still worked so I could use headphones or Bluetooth. The fingerprint reader not working grew to be a major annoyance though, it's so much more convenient to use than typing out a password.

Well, based Terry absolutely makes me want to move to TempleOS

Nothing!!!

if you're referring to this templos; it's still linux

I only play two games and cant for the life of me get them to run properly on linux, and i only start the computer when i want to play so windows it is.

@ani honestly temple os just does what I need my computer to do nothing else can come close to it. I have tryed everything.

Brain damage

Bro, i upgraded to 64 bit.

There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn't otherwise, because there aren't enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don't really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)

At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don't need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.

Drivers for the Tobii eye tracker do not officially exist.

Well for the most part Wayland ruined my experience but I'm willing to try again, just not in near future. (was using Fedore 38 KDE for 2months).

And for the rest, I assumed that most things that work with AMD on Windows will work also on Linux since I had that experience on PoPOS with NVIDIA about 4y ago.

Mainly GPU accelerated rendering in Blender which requires the AMD proprietary drivers and does not seem to work with MESA.

KDenlive only supports the AMD x264 encoder and not HEVC and Davinci Resolve has no support for AMD encoders on Linux. They all work fine with NVIDIAs NVENC though.
