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.

New Bazsite user too.

The Firefox thing is not specific to opening a PDF. I get the same behavior you describe just when I open Firefox. It's probably just first launch after a new boot for me but I'm not sure.

It's definitely not just first open, for me. Every two weeks, I scan and organize receipts as PDFs for my own accounting, so I end up with many files open at once, all while my existing Firefox wibdows are already open.

Do you have to use firefox for your pdfs? There are much better alternatives.

Not particularly, it's just the default. And it's not really about the PDFs, it happens when I'm trying to visit links, from outside of Firefox as well. Opening PDFs is just something I do far more often.
