So... what I say... if you want to use Linux, go ahead. But, know WHAT and WHY you are doing this. If you simply say "it's not Windows" -- not good enough. Yes, Linux is not Windows. It is ALSO not a Mac OS/X. So, why are you attempting, "many times" to adopt Linux? I honestly have no idea what "Radarr" is, or why on earth I would want it. If I did care, I would have a reason to use Windows. As it is, I don't. My use case is a good and reliable Posix platform, with good tooling. That is provided by Linux -- indeed, I use Fedora. Been that way for over 25 years. I need Java, but not .NET. My use cases... not yours.
I don't care about "package managers" Usenet is web for me (google groups), CLI is not an issue; indeed I prefer it, given my history. I find Windows UX/UI to be extremely difficult. I suggest that you do NOT consider Linux to be a competitor to Windows. It really isn't. Windows had been forced to run Linux. In full compatibility. This is supported by Microsoft -- unlike Wine is is somewhat there. If I needed Windows, I would run Windows, and use WSL.
The odd thing here is that Windows "blinked first". The existence of WSL means Linux has won. If I sent you a Linux binary, I would tell you to install WSL and then just run it. I can also send you JVM stuff to run. .NET? Haven't needed
to bother with it.
Have I tried many times to adopt Windows? Frankly, no. If it doesn't work with Fedora, I generally just don't care, and move on.
Just to add a slight counter to this, for some people Linux not being windows is enough. Many people don't remember this, but Microsoft showed us all what they are in the 90s.
