According to foreign media reports, perhaps many users, like the author, have become interested in Linux and installed it on their own PCs for testing. However, many users eventually choose to give up Linux and return to Windows. Why is this?
Below, the author summarizes several reasons for you as follows:
#1. No game support
Many users have reported that their Windows games simply cannot run on Linux operating systems. Simply put, Linux lacks support for some new games.
#2. Lack of OEM support
When users purchase a Windows or Mac computer from the store, they will receive full support from the OEM, including all necessary application drivers. However, if users are using a Linux operating system, they need to deal with a lot of tedious issues themselves.
#3. No iPod support
In the past, users did not care whether Linux could support iPod, but now iPod support has become a big issue in Linux.
#4. No migration tools
For most users, nothing is scarier than reinstalling the system, especially when there is a lack of migration tools.
#5. Driver/hardware confusion
Currently, there are very few hardware on the market with the "works with Linux" logo. It can be said that the current Linux driver/hardware support is confusing.
#6. Free technical support is greatly reduced
Obviously, when a user switches from Windows, which has a market share of more than 90%, to Linux, which has a market share of 1%, it means that he will lose many of his original third-party support advantages, including software and hardware support.
#7. Confused about the differences between Linux distributions
Currently, there are many Linux distributions on the market, but it is difficult for users to distinguish the differences between these distributions.
All in all, for the Linux operating system in the open source community, the good news is that more and more users are becoming interested in Linux. The bad news is that there are still many obstacles preventing Windows users from upgrading to Linux.
