Heyho, recently someone asked for the silliest reasons, but as someone who has suggested linux to many people, I often encounter people having valid reasons for staying with Windows or switching back.
The most boring but valid one is “I have to use Windows for work. It is a requirement (of some software I have to use)”. But there are also other answers that fit. My sister for example tried Linux, but while installing software constantly encountered issues that I helped her solve and eventually switched back because she felt like she had less control than over windows. While I am aware that this is fundamentally wrong, it is valid that some amateur users do not want to invest enough time to get over the initial hurdles of relearning how to install software.
What are the best reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?
My school requires the installation of office apps like Microsoft access. I can’t get Microsoft office apps to run with wine.
I also can’t get games from Ubisoft connect to run with wine. I usually try lutris but the games always crash. So I have a virtual windows machine for school work and I have to play all of my games on steam.
Sounds like I don’t know how to use wine or wine hates me
I mostly run Linux though.
I wasn’t aware that thing still existed.
I’ve only tried Trackmania, but was able to get it to work with Proton. I remember having one or two slight issues at first, dealing with Ubisoft connect, but I got it running pretty easily.
Don’t play games with wine, use Proton
Ubi shit works better when you pirate. Dont pay for the trash versions.
