I hadn't learned enough about how to use it back then.

About 23 years ago I couldn’t make it boot when I plugged in a USB hub.
And since, my life just became too invested in Microsoft/Adobe products to be able to use something else as a daily driver.
But I “use” Linux every day - whether it’s the PiHole, the NAS, the server that runs my 3D printer, or WSL in Windows PowerShell. I’m about to spin up my own OPNSense router, too.
Weird trajectory on WSL - I learned Unix commands using MacOS terminal for a previous job, but I generally abhor windows command line (it just doesn’t work with my brain). So now when I use commend line in windows, I default to *nix.
It sort of works out that I use Macs for personal use, Windows for work, and Linux to run the systems of my life.
LibreOffice is an an amazing replacement for the MS-Office suite.
i use all OS so i didn’t give linux up but i don’t use it in a lot of cases that i think it should be better.
i got frustrated at snapd and the whole container by default approach most distros are going.
selinux already does what people want jails to be doing. app armor worked well enough.
I am dual booting because I bought a nice OLED monitor with HDR and Linux doesn't support it yet. For certain games with nicer graphics, HDR is really beautiful.
The moment Linux support HDR, I nuke windows for good.

I asked someone with a lot of experience in the matter which distro to use and their recommendation was way below my standards.
