    Most of the hobbyists I speak to that have failed linux desktop experiences mostly switch back to windows due to:

    1. Hardware compatibility issues.
    2. Microsoft office interoperability limitations of the web based office.
    3. Display scaling issues on multi-monitor setups and some linux applications.

    Personally for me the list is:

    1. Bluetooth not being detected on my particular asus laptop. (The same bluetooth chip works in other laptops)
    2. Multi-monitor scaling and resolution issues when 3 external monitors are connected via thunderbolt doc.
    3. Lack of good alternatives to fancyzones

        If you don’t have admin rights on your work pc, you can install fancyzone by installing powertoys from the microsoft store.
