Linux

I couldnt even get it to work on chrome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm running endevourOS with KDM and there are some major issues with bluetooth...I can't get some devices to connect (e.g my keychrone Keyboard, and Cricut plotter)

I still have to disable my wireless mouse, when I hibernate, because I couldn't be bothered to adapt the udev rules to disallow the mouse to trigger the pc to start

And finaly, I just got back into X4 Foundation and my HOTAS setup depends on which device is recognized first...either its correct, or the controls are swapped (stuff that should be on the joystick is on the thrustmaster and vice versa)...un- and replugging in the correct order fixes this, but one wod think that it would lock the controls to a fixed device identifier

A recent update added 104ms to my boot time and I am SEETHING and will get to the bottom of this and make those responsible pay dearly.

Leaving Standby. Can't count the times I've opened my laptop to just see a black screen. Hard reset was the only option

• A udev rule that won't work in my new distro (cachyos) for no apparent reason when it worked fine everywhere else

• Obs using way too much cpu for no reason even in a clean setup at idle

• Having to select what window will be captured to the obs canvas every time

• Having to swap active audio outputs until volume stops being too low at every restart.

That's about all of it, I think.

I miss start menu ads, intrusive bing searches, copilot upselling, MSN news, and uninstallable things I'll never use on my PC like Xbox.

Nothing but there were some gpu issues with sleep signals on the newest Debian release. As it's an always on server I turned those flags off and it's running normally.

I wish I had Paintdotnet but my daily usage sees Krita work.

Been using it for a couple years, my main ones currently are:

• VR. SteamVR is a broken mess, Monado is pretty much functional, but I haven't switched yet. Mesa or the kernel sometimes forget about VR and break it in an update.
• QT5 to QT6 transition for my favorite Matrix client, Nheko. Scrolling is a pain, and the clipboard randomly stops working.
• Wayland freedom and featureset is nowhere close to X11. I can't choose a window manager without locking myself in to a specific featureset on my display server. Stuff like global hotkeys isn't supported in most applications. I'm still on the godawful GNOME desktop portals, which is most annoying for file picking. I have no HDR support because my window manager isn't from KDE or GNOME.
• GTK4 apps looking like shit (there are patches luckily), I try to avoid them just because of libadwaita and GNOME's awful design.

On the note of Wayland, I have switched, and for good reason. Besides unimplemented features, things "just work" a lot better than X11. Still wish I could have effectively bspwm window management with kwin featureset though. (Plugins for tiling are not the same experience)

80% of tools and tasks take about 20% more effort to get set up how I'd like them, which is fine - and even usually better because I can customize it more. However 20% of tools and tasks take 8,000% more effort to even work correctly, and I give up on half of them.

Audio. As much as windows has issues, it is not hard to get good latency. The same process is it less accessible to most users. A reliable gui is needed.

VST's and their associated DRM is a blocker but not the fault of Linux. The same is true for hardware that can only be properly configured with a windows or Mac only tool. These problems need a critical mass of users, and a legal requirement to support Linux for mainstream products. (EU, I'm talking to you)

VS, that's it. Other than that, office once a few months when my school requests an assignment in .docx / .pptx /.xlsx format. Edit: forgot about windows install USB-s (I know ventoy exists).

Linux is better for audio production than it’s ever been. That said, the plug-in support is still severely lacking. Even the VST bridges are hit or miss because a lot of plugins install via .exe installers which may or may not run well via wine. Getting a raw .vst file is actually pretty rare. And that’s for free plugins that don’t require DRM. Most professional quality plugins are more complex.

Minor issue is the vulken shaders that load before I play a game. Most of the time it's quick and only done after an update but some games do take a long time.

Also having issues where Wine freezes up when running applications. Sometimes for close to two minutes before responding. I haven't looked into this one yet as it just happened recently.

Bazzite with Nvidia GPU of this matters.

Non pain point not having the system install updates during my "focus" time and bringing the system to a crawl until I let it finish.

Can't stream peacock to watch my motorsports. Resolved by unsubbing but I still wanna watch sometimes.

For me the thing that actually matters is Respondus not working on Linux. There's no solution other than have a dedicated Windows laptop if I want to take tests for my college. Everything else has a workaround.

For several years I daily drove PopOS and it was good. I liked their window management. It was unstable, especially with waking from sleep, which led to filesystem corruption sometimes, but timeshift always bailed me out.

Then I tried the Comic beta and loved the paradigm but it was even less stable.

Then I found Bread on Penguins on YouTube and got interested in how Steam was putting all this work into gaming on Linux, and how Wayland was supposed to be so much better for gaming.

So I tried Arch, but it was A LOT. The games did not run well. I feared I was missing a lot of crucial components.

I found the Asus RoG Linux site and switched to Cosmic+CachyOS. The games ran better if on the laptop screen only but Cosmic was still unstable.

I tried Niri but that created a ton of flickering when two monitors were plugged on, which is my typical setup.

I played around with nvidia drivers more as I had been doing the entire time but this time fucked my system up and my new setup of time shift didn't save me.

So I clean installed CachyOS on Gnome. The games still run well enough on the laptop only. Two monitors works and is stable but the framerate is low in general and my mouse is choppy. I had to spend hours rewriting scripts because Gnome isn't wlroots based and so doesn't support fuzzel/rofi/et al. When waking from sleep it will fall back asleep like 4 times before staying up, so I've turned sleep off.

I feel pretty exhausted and defeated in all honesty.

I've had frustation with the lack of support for some HP laptops. I have a HP Dragonfly 13.5-inch G4 Notebook and I haven't been able to get my sound to work despite finding others who have gotten it to work. None of the people who got it to work were using simple installation or sources to get the sound to work.

I think security wise linux can do better, I'd like to see more isolation of processes. I find accessibility is lacking as well, particularly translation and ocr software. I think this is actually something local visual ai models would be very good at but are not leveraged for in open source.

Prob niche but ive had my pacman aur wrapper paru kinda broke for many months and ive let it pass so much that its probably much harder to fix now lol. I used to cat one file that cache'd available aur packages so i could pipe it into a fzf command but its no longer making that cache file.

I've been a linux user since 2010s more or less. For some reason on my new tuxedo laptop with mint installed + qtile it sometimes freezes or logs me out. Super frustrating, and don't know how to debug it. But mostly I'm happy with my setup.

It is probably because I am a moron and just took a long time to figure it out, but its always harder to set up network shares with my linux desktop than any other machine in my house. At this point I know how to do it pretty well, but its a LOT more involved because none of the GUI tools seem to really work right.

Like I will share a folder from my server (also running linux BTW) and its instantly viewable on my windows laptop and even my streaming devices, but to discover it on my other linux machine is always a chore that involves editing a few config files and just kinda randomly poking around until it works.

I've been struggling to get Linux installed again. I had to reinstall Windows to even use the thing. I'm at a loss and really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm deep in that Dunning-Kruger valley where I know enough to really mess things up and not how to fix them.

I have an Asus ROG gaming laptop from 2023. I had Ubuntu installed no problem, but when. I wiped my Windows drive, it wouldn't boot anymore. Pretty sure I wiped the bootloader too, I'm not sure. I can install Bazzite or Ubuntu on my Asus ROG Ally no problem, but had an issue later on and reverted that back to Windows too.

I also run local servers for Phantasy Star Online and Minecraft, and the best way to run those has been through Windows. I never use that computer except for running the two servers, so I don't really care what operating system is on it, but if I could install my servers, that would be ideal.
