Windows is just less hassle (Score 1)

I'm 35, an electrical engineer who has owned a PC for ~29ish years (win 3.1). I build all my own desktops and have for years, I do all the IT work for folks in my family, I am far more competent than the average user, but I'm no sysadmin. I used some linux in the early 2000s and played around with dual boots on a few occasions. I have a family so I don't get to game much, but I do play a few games from time to time, mostly use my PC for coding and A/V stuff. My most recent attempt to ditch windows was a year ago when my CPU from my old computer died, I updated my wife's PC and took her old parts and threw ubuntu onto it. I spent about 80% of my time fixing random driver issues by copying and pasting command line codes into the terminal. I tried to get a few of my games to play using virtual box and other such things (games didn't have native mode) and it was just massively troublesome and performance was terrible. After about a month of spending 3+ hours a week on random issues I had with ubuntu I decided to pull the plug, it was just too much work. After failing to get that computer running I bit the bullet, bought some new hardware and gave a dual boot windows/ubuntu a shot. Once again I ended up spending hours upon hours trying to figure out how to get windows/ubuntu to stop overwriting each other's bootloaders so that I didn't have to restart my computer with boot repair. Eventually, I just gave up and am back to using only windows. As much as people want to pretend linux desktops are ready for primetime, I just don't see it. It's possible I've just had bad luck, but I don't have infinite amounts of time to pour into making my PC work the way I want when Windows works just fine (once you disable all the random MS spyware).
