Most people that I've seen go back to Windows are people who tried something like Fedora as their first distro for some reason, and then left because they found it too complicated. Instead of going for an easier one like Mint
That is indeed strange, I started with Fedora for some reason and I still use Fedora. Great distro tbh, my only complaint is that more things are .deb instead of .rpm, but .rpm is common enough.
That is the quirk of being splintered in so many different distros, and all the users recommending a different one.
It is by far the biggest reason why Linux hasn't gone mainstream.
New users are having to deep dive into all the different possibilities just to find the one that does what they want, before they can even start the process of installation.
Compare that to Windows: just install the latest one
