Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

Basically photoshop and games. I was dual booting and when I switched computer it wasn't worth reinstalling because I spent most of my time in windows. This was a long time ago.
Now that windows is moving into subscription basis I keep thinking I should try getting into linux again but I don't have the time to fiddle around making stuff work.
You've got a good point regarding Photoshop. Gimp exists on Linux, but I find it immensely powerful but hard to wield.
Gaming with the Steam Desk has gotten better for Linux with the introduction of Proton and I imagine this'll only improve.
You can see if your favorite game is supported with Proton here.
Thanks!
Apart from Steam I mostly use consoles for gaming these days so it would only be Photoshop I guess ( I think ms office works on Linux now?). Gimp is cool but it still can't do everything photoshop does and I find the GUI counterintuitive.
The one thing I still do use Linux for is booting with a thumbdrive when a computer running Windows has a meltdown.
