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?

command line interface
I’m fine with it, but it’s cryptic and a deal breaker for many.
is one on windows
Yes, but most people don’t ever have to use it for anything. The average Windows user doesn’t know what you mean when you say “open a command prompt.”
I literally only use it on Windows to compile some source code or run python scripts.
And most people, if they used Linux, wouldn’t have to use the terminal for anything either. Linux has come along a long way for the average user, assuming you choose a sensible newbie-friendly distro like Zorin on Linux-friendly hw, or your PC comes with Linux OOTB (like System76 machines) - then an average user, would never have to touch the terminal.
Just ask my elderly parents - they’ve been running Linux for about 15 years now without having to touch the terminal or learn any commands. And before you say anything - yes, they do more than just Facebook - they print and scan stuff, backup files from their phones, transfer files across USB drives, do some light document editing - pretty much all your basic computing tasks really - and they never needed to touch the terminal.
This misconception that Linux users need to use/learn the terminal really needs to die.
Your one use case does nothing to convince me. I’ve read enough recent examples contrary to that to know better, not to mention having had to manually edit a ridiculous number of setting files on my own system to get something to work properly that should have just worked without jumping through all the hoops. Keep lying to yourself that this will be the year of the linux desktop.
And all you’re giving is vague excuses without any specifics. You shouldn’t have to edit anything at all manually, if you’re running a sensible distro on Linux-friendly hardware.
If you had to do edit stuff then either you were using the wrong distro, or you’ve got incompatible.
And who said anything about being the year of the Linux desktop? Stop putting words into my mouth.
I don’t need to be specific. It’s not necessary to convince you or a priority to explain what all I had to do. You’re not worth the time, this isn’t a debate. I diagnosed the issues and fixed them. I recently tried Zorin out of curiosity and it was a shitshow with numerous things not working. I went to Linux Mint and still had to fix issues. Pretty sure that’s the exact distro you referred to, plus the one determined to be easiest and most noob friendly. So that presumption of yours is DOA. Now fuck off, because I don’t need your opinion on whether or not I did something wrong, and the comments on this post are filled with people who also have issues. Go lecture them.
Really, then why are you replying to me? You should stop replying to me then if your time is so precious.
Was that on Linux friendly hardware though? You completely ignored the second point. And once again, you’re making vague claims, basically lies, because you’ve got no evidence.
Well you can fuck off yourself, if you can just slander Linux and post whatever the fuck you want to, why can’t I?
The OP’s post is asking why people leave Linux… if you cannot handle an honest response to the post, and consider it slander, that’s your problem.
If you cannot understand by what I’ve already written that I fixed the issues, and are unable to work out for yourself that means the hardware is compatible after necessary fixes, that’s also your problem.
Now I’m blocking you. Go whine at someone else.
