I couldn't care less whether you use Linux or not. I'm just discussing those thoughts about it that you are bouncing around. That's what we are here for.
For example you expressed the opinion that using Linux is extremely difficult for non-geeks because one needs to be completely competent in order to do so which takes a huge amount of effort etc.. To what I replied that
some learning is necessary to use
any OS, even Windows, and that moreover any noob can use Ubuntu without even knowing what "mount" means. It's not Linux' fault if some people pick a too advanced distribution for their level.
My point is not that you should use Linux. My point is that if you really wanted to, you could.

I do not wish to use it, okay?

Well, to me you come across as sending off mixed signals. You don't want to go back to Windows, but also don't want to use Linux, but would like to use it, but can't make it work, ...
Until now I believed that you actually wanted to use it but needed some help with it.
Now if you
really do NOT want to use it, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Buy an external hard drive, put your stuff on there, then format your hard drive and install Windows. Done. Nobody is trying to convince you to stick with Linux.

It's like you are saying "You don't want to play tennis? Try a different racket, change your stance up, understand the tactics here. Learn it!"

No. If you really don't want to play tennis, please, quit tennis. No problem. But if you say "I
can't play tennis, because the racket is so heavy and I need to run too much. No normal person plays tennis.", then yeah, try a different racket, change your stance up, understand the tactics and practice. 'Cause you can.
What you are expressing in this thread is a bunch of limiting beliefs about why you cannot possibly use Linux. I don't agree with those. That's all.
