Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss (libretechni.ca)

Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

What are you using for power management on Linux? I forgot what I switched to but switching from the default (I think it was CPU power deamon) to something more granular literally doubled my uptime.

Whatever Ubuntu 22.04 LTS shipped. I know we have many tools to micromanage energy in Linux, and I’ve used them in the past, but I think it’s fairer to compare Windows vs Ubuntu out-of-the-box, without tweaks.
