Demonstrably false.
Weird that Linux can't run some applications written specifically for Windows. It's a nitpick, but your sentence should be "some programs don't support Linux", because the issue isn't with the OS, it's with the developers of the software.
In any case, outside of some specific examples, most Windows software actually does work on Linux thanks to Wine and Proton.
Maybe not, but they need to look around for fixes to dozens of other issues that shouldn't exist. Like getting rid of ads in your OS.
Perfectly fine, but it doesn't discount what I said before.
You're right about this also. I want my OS to work for me and I want to not have to fight against the OS to get things done. For me that's Linux. When I used to use Windows regularly it was nothing but annoyance and hindrances.
