Seven major obstacles to switch from Windows to Linux

According to foreign media reports, many users may, like the author, have been interested in Linux and install it on their own PC for testing. However, many users finally choose to give up Linux and return to Windows. Why?

 

 

Below, I have summarized the following reasons:

#1. No game support

Many users have reported that their Windows games cannot run in Linux. In short, Linux lacks support for some new games.

#2. Lack of OEM support

After a user buys a Windows or Mac computer from the store, the user will receive all-round support from the OEM, and the necessary application drivers are readily available. However, if you are using a Linux operating system, you need to handle a lot of tedious problems yourself.

#3. iPod support not available

In the past, users did not care whether Linux supports iPod, but now iPod support has become a major problem in Linux.

#4. No migration tool

For most users, there is nothing more terrible than the installation system, especially when there is a lack of migration tools.

#5. Drive/hardware chaos

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 messy.

#6. Free technical support is greatly reduced

Obviously, when a user switches from Windows with a market share of more than 90% to Linux with a market share of 1%, this means that he will lose many of the advantages of third-party support, this includes software and hardware support.

#7. have doubts about the differences between Linux releases

Currently, there are many Linux releases in the market, but it is difficult for users to identify the differences between these releases.

 

 

All in all, for Linux operating systems in the open-source community, the good news is that more and more users are interested in Linux. The bad news is that there are still many obstacles to prevent Windows users from upgrading to Linux.
