I am perfectly happy with Windows 10 and want to throw my work Linux PC out the nearest window almost every day because of Linux package dependency hell.
I work on different application and are pretty much forced to setup a specific Linux VM for each one to not have package dependency problems.
I work on Linux every day and wish it was Windows. Linux is package dependency hell. Switching to working on a different application I am often forced to setup a new VM to even build it without breaking other apps I am working on. I never had that problem on Windows.
It is unreasonable to expect that a tool built for proving correctness (a very hard problem) somehow should also be able to simulate performance and everything else somebody might need.
A hammer is great for certain things but I don't expect it to make good coffee. I use other tools for that. However that doesn't make hammers deficient.
Removing X from a distribution, and making it hard to switch from Wayland to X, makes things really difficult for developers such as myself who is maintaining 30+ year old X applications.
I have friends in the games industry. Stunningly bad and arrogant leadership seems to be the norm.
Make a random dude (it is usually a dude) a manager in a games company and suddenly he thinks he is a brilliant game designer with all the right answers overruling more experienced people.
Until the game flops and he is fired (or not if a good friend of the CEO).

I never had that problem developing on Windows.
