Why people gave up using linux? (lemmy.ml)

The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

I haven’t given up on Linux. I have at least 5 Linux machines in the other room, including tablets, laptops, and servers.

There’s a few Mac’s in the mix too, but those are workstations.

Though I can sympathize with the complaints here in these comments. I brought a ryzen laptop home and installed a distribution on it. Sleep didn’t work. Tried 2 more distros, sleep still didn’t work. Now that laptop just sits there. My Chromebook gets more use than it. Having to shut it down and boot it back up every time wasn’t worth using it anymore when my pinebook pro does have the support you’d expect for functions you’d expect from a laptop.

I had the same problem with sleep when I switched last year.

Try using hibernate instead. Takes a few seconds longer to start back up, but it saves your session and works just fine for me.

Edit: just saw you're using PopOS. Still worth trying, but I'm on EndeavourOS (with KDE Plasma) which, from what I understand, is basically Arch with training wheels. So that could be the difference.
