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?

About 20 years ago, I was trying to get audio playing to stay stable, and have audible alarms from KCal. I did everything, recompiled kernels, nothing fixed it.

So I went out and got a G4 Mac mini, set it up with my audio and it worked perfectly. Within a week I'd shut off the Linux trash for good. Mac OS X does everything better.

For servers, I use FreeBSD, it's dumb to run Linux there, too.

Nothing's improved, I have the same audio problems on my RasPi in Linux. Linux is bad at just about everything, any other OS or possibly just a dead badger will do the job better.

Linux is bad at audio therefore it's bad at everything? Interesting. Fair point about audio though, if you're doing anything to do with that then stay clear of Linux. Raspberry pi audio is bad even by Linux standards, lol

Audio is typical of every other problem on Linux, that's just the straw that broke my camel's back.

It's just half-assed or less at anything, and never gets better.
