Video games for one. Hated the UI (only thing I've ever hated worse was the BS Windows pulled with 8, which I skipped). The GUI experience just felt... Like a very distant after thought. Only reason I use Linux at all is on servers (homelab) because... Well the cost is spot on and once I get it working I don't have to deal with it anymore.

Which distros have you tried? I was given Ubuntu and thought I hated Linux. It turns out that I just hated the UI, and some other distros were actually ok.

Well, Ubuntu was one. Before that it was Fedora many years ago.
