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?

It’s gotten a bit better, but last time I tried switching, the GUI client for my VPN provider was shit, the PC gaming compatibility aspect (non-Steam) wasn’t quite good enough for me, Nvidia’s drivers said fuck you to my display, and I couldn’t quite figure out how to set up Samba. Lol.

I’d definitely recommend checking back in a year or two to see if it’s changed. Compatibility is definitely getting better over time even if it is slow.

Ive quite enjoyed the KDE NordVPN plasmoid. Visually integrates it into the taskbar.

Problem with NordVPN is I believe it doesn’t have Port Forwarding. Please correct me if I’m wrong on that.

(In any case, NordVPN does sit right with me; seeing them advertised by every single YouTuber under the sun just…idk…feels yucky.)

I’ve been using the CLI app and it’s kind of jank… I’ll have to look into this.

Easily one of the longest and most headache inducing troubleshooting sessions I ever had on Linux -_-
