> “Back to Linux” is a bit of a misnomer, because of the long period in which this article stayed on my backburner. By the time I wrapped it, I’m no longer using Linux, at least not natively. Due to the GPU driver issues, in the end I’ve opted to switch to Windows 10 and WSL
Sounds about right. I would really like to be using a FOSS OS, but no matter how long I use Linux, no matter how many distros I play around with, there inevitably is something I struggle to do with it that would be trivial on Windows. Sometimes it is hardware, but for me it's usually software. I'm apparently a weirdo because I like to use software that, for one reason or another, isn't in my distro's repo. Older version, newer version, alongside a different version of the same thing, too obscure, etc. I'm apparently expected to install a billion dev tools and environments and compile it myself to support this use case. Ugh. Don't even get me started on trying to do anything as clearly ludicrous as trying to put software on a second disk!
