> I also don't have the nerves for Linux. I want the computer to be a thing to solve problems not a thing to cause problems to solve :)

That is only true of Linux for specific things like gaming, or if you cannot resist the temptation to try stuff and tinker.

Even having moved to a relatively unstable/problematic Linux distro (Manjaro) do not find myself spending any more time solving problems than when I used Windows (which as a long time ago, so not applicable to current Windows).




It's really not though. I've run Linux on physical hardware as a side concern for the last 25 years and it's mostly a pain in the ass, even right up to now with things like sudden power drain, sleep problems, WiFi fucking out, high DPI issues etc. I don't have the time for that shit.
