Before doing the switch, part of my mind thought that it was accepting a new pain that might equal or exceed the familiar pain in the short run but would be worth it in the long run to get away from the frustration of windows.

The reality that I experienced is that it was less painful than wrangling windows to behave more like how I want it to.
