Also what are some things that tempted you to look for alternatives?

I have used Ubuntu in the past for about six months, on an old laptop while I was building, well buying and obtaining parts for my PC. While I do consider returning to Linux, possibly using another distro, there are some things I experienced that I do not wish to deal on daily basis… Occasionally would be fine.
-
Software/aplications work and don’t work, almost as if they had a mind of their own. What fixed them the last time, won’t do anything the next time. Sometimes things just start suddenly working. But what’s for sure, thing won’t ever work when you need them to work. (Classic example; a romantic movie night - food ready, flowers in vase, candles lit, DVD picked, the app don’t work.)

This is probably just my Ubuntu experience, but each time you open the computer, there is a new app store AND only one of those works, but never the same one as last time. Delete them? They’ll come back with friends. - 2.1. You need to insert your password if you want to scratch your genitals in the same room as you Personal Computer is.

Everything is an user error. (Well yes, most things in life are.) You’re just using the wrong distro, oh that’s just a broken update, you’re just using the wrong aplication… Okay, I change distro and use the recommended apps, yet the problems continue, so I’m again using just the wrong distro, and oh that update was just broken, oh okay I’m using the wrong apps. Again and again. This is aaaaalll just a learning curve.
At this time, what I want from my PC is to work at least 66% of the time. If I want to quickly check something online, I want to be able to do it without fighting for three hours. If I want to just quickly play some games, I want to be able to do it without fighting for another three hours. I know I’m spoiled and demanding for too much.

@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz if you wouldn’t mind could I request this post to be stickied for just a week?
It’s easier than alternatives. I already have it installed. The games I play are supported. My hardware generally works.
I don’t want to move all of my gog games. Only thing I use windows for. May dual boot in the future. Will never use 11.
Switching what?
Your question is backward - you’re assuming people are choosing to not switch, as if switching is a default position to take - when default is working with what’s in front of you, what you’re familiar with (for decades).
