the amount of effort it takes to get things working just isn't worth it as is
what really settled it was spending 5 hours going down a rabbit hole of trying to get something to run that requires .NET dependencies that should've taken 5 minutes, and realizing it's just gonna be this kind of joy with a new issue every week anyways

This is not a bug but a feature

It's sounds to me like both of you were trying to treat Linux like it is Windows and then wondering why it doesn't work that way.
What was the specific program having issues? What were your alternatives?
The drivers thing, made way easier if you just use your package manager which is a core feature of every distro. Directions...

@bonkmaykr there's a lot of niche applications i need that only have exe versions or have dependencies seemingly not available on linux
can't control the fans properly because it was on a locked down laptop
lots of specific things like that that add up fast

even if i was mentally open to dealing with a high friction OS where you have to DIY everything, i can't really afford that anyways being in freelance
this is my 5th or 6th venture in to trying to fully swap over to linux and its gotten better over time but still just needs more that can suit my needs

the customizability, responsiveness, and sheer flexibility with audio systems using software alone was fantastic, but the tradeoffs are just too much for me

Its not for everyone. I was on EndeavourOS for a couple of years and had to troubleshoot a lot of things. Moved to Fedora and its been relatively smooth barring the initial setup.
However, I don't have niche applications so it works for me. Its making fantastic progress, but Linux still isn't ready for mass adoption.
