A slightly more positive way of putting this is “choosing the set of problems you want to deal with.” I vastly prefer the problems that Linux hands me over the problems with Windows.
Linux sucks because the problems are sometimes hard to solve and you have to solve them yourself. Windows and Mac suck because the ability to solve hard problems is actively being kept away from you by the gatekeepers.
You know, I set up dual boot Fedora and Windows because my wife uses my PC. Basic grub menu to select which OS I want booted, with priority set to Linux. Works fine for a year, until one day Windows is left on and decides it’ll automatically do an update. For some fucking reason, it messed with my Linux install. Fedora got stuck in the boot menu forever. I had to boot into WSL2 because I couldn’t find a USB, grab all my files out of the old filesystem, and reinstall Fedora via VM IIRC.
I did try troubleshooting from the grub command interface, but no luck. I’m not technical enough to know what I’m doing in that low level thing anyway, but figured I’d try.

I much prefer “hard to solve”.

Soon I’ll be moving Windows into a vm.
