There may be 1000s of reasons for using linux distro which i genuinely don't know about but one thing which i have noticed is that linux requires lot of time setting things up. There is terminal for you to work as app store and there is app store also ( though this app store doesn't have that many apps). I have used ubuntu,debian,manjaro,budgie remix and things which i have found buggy about all of these distros are it's Wi-Fi support (like it supports my mobile hotspot but I don't know why it's buggy with my college wifi and i still can't access internet over my college hotspot) Maybe I'm noob? and i don't know how to solve many of its issues. But genuinely speaking do i need that much of skill just to run an os? Seriously? i never ever had any problem using windows. Some other issues with Linux distros include its Bluetooth support which also stuck. I mean why do i need to invest so much of time putting apt get install xyz? After finding commands over internet. Even basic file managers and many packages like media plugings etc. you need to update time to time which means for you to use linux distro efficiently you need to be connected with internet. Ever tried using Linux without internet? Use it once you'll feel the boredom using it. The main reason i still use linux is just fan following ( i.e. its Internet based reviews its virus security and all that which you too know about ). And all being said i have lost so many files because whole of my os just crashed several times without me knowing any reason? And one more you know? you can't use windows hard disk drive without shutting down or logging your windows off properly. I mean why do i need to put this much of effort just to use this linux distro? Though on the other side you are skipping windows gold class desktop environment and its user friendliness. You have to put some more effort again to play games. I'm amazed how people love complex things than the easier one.
