What are your frustrations with Linux experience?
Hi! I’ve been using Linux distros as a desktop for like 10 years and also working with it during my SWE career, and over time I’ve accumulated not a small amount of frustrations and wanted to see what experiences other people have. So, share your frustrations in comments and I’ll start with mine: - Wayland is still not being ready (at least with sway), a lot of issues come from this, why didn’t they make it backwards compatible to ease the transition - It’s hard to keep usb keyboard settings persistent on X11 - It’s hard to manage and hotplug monitors on X11 - Too much configuration: bad defaults or lack of them forces you to maintain your set of configs, i.e. dotfiles that can go stale and you’ll forget why do you have some of them - Bluetooth audio still sucks - Flatpak has too many incompatibilities
This is from the top of my mind. Of course I’ll keep using it, and address the issues per my abilities, and I didn’t mention how much better the experience has become over the years, especially with gaming, but we can do better!
