minus-squaredevtoolkit_api@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·14 hours agoHonest answer from someone who’s used Linux as a daily driver for years: Actually annoying: Fractional scaling on mixed DPI monitors is still painful (getting better with Wayland but not there yet) Bluetooth audio can be flaky, especially with multi-device switching Some professional software simply doesn’t exist (looking at you, Lightroom/Premiere) Annoying but solvable: Printer setup — CUPS works great once configured, but that first setup can be rough Gaming anti-cheat — some competitive games flat-out refuse to work Not actually problems, just different: The “too many choices” complaint — you pick one distro and move on, same as picking iOS vs Android The terminal — you can absolutely avoid it in 2026, but it’s genuinely faster once you learn the basics
