It’s honestly not unrealistic though, I’ve used Linux for over 3 years as a daily driver for IT, software dev, and gaming. Only thing it struggled with with was gaming. I’m really not sure how you had so much trouble getting RDP to work, it was never that tiresome when I set it up. Linux does work out of the box on a wide variety of machines and it is gaining in popularity and ease of use. It does have limitations but they are quickly fading. Even then, from my experiences windows has more limitations. Windows can’t even use any file systems other than NTFS without WSL besides the most basic like FAT. It costs money to use and has meager customization at best. It’s bloated and barley runs on anything short for 8 GB of ram these days. It refuses to allow you to even have the slightest bit of privacy. That’s probably the biggest reason to switch. RDP does work great on windows. It’s their proprietary protocol. What else would you expect. Windows may be more “plug n play” but Linux just has more options for alot of thing and has more flexibility. It’s way more versatile as an os. If your looking for something plug n play just stick with Ubuntu
