I have a friend who hopped to linux side recently. I then asked him again lately if he is still using it. He said no and we ended up discussing why: game modding. Most mod tools are for windows, and even on windows they can be super janky.
Anyway, i think its entirely valid. I dont judge or belittle that.
He did mention he wants to try again some other day, so that's a win. It just wasnt now.
I did the same thing when i started, heh.
