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

• 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.

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.

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.

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

Things have gotten A LOT better since I started using it, but here’s a list of things I hate after using Arch with KDE as my main OS for almost 7 years:

• Not having an archive manager as good as 7-zip was on Windows. Ark is a good replacement but it supports less formats, has less options when compressing, and most importantly if you close the archive while extracting it silently fails (reported in 2019, still not fixed)
• You can’t make an account without a password (yes, I know I can configure the sudoers file and polkit to skip password prompts, but that’s not user friendly). For the average user, having to type the password after login is incredibly annoying, I would like to have something like the UAC prompt in Windows
• Wayland: it was made mainstream waaaay too early, causing a lot of issues with both Qt and GTK applications, some of which persist to this day, especially with fractional scaling and HDR
• Developers seem to think that I enjoy using the terminal: I don’t, I hate it. Why isn’t there a GUI for pacman supports the AUR and doesn’t suck?
• Random broken commits being pushed to stable. I’m talking about “how the f did you not notice this?” kind of bugs, like how I had to rename files twice in Dolphin before it would actually rename them. It was fixed quickly but how did this get into stable in the first place?
• Flatpak having its old ass version of mesa in the runtime, causing all sorts of issues if you have a newly released GPU. I stopped using it because of this

Plasma apps don’t navigate to network shares. So backup sync is not possible for non IT people. Even though Dolphin can easily access those shares. No backup is quite a showstopper. There is no easy way to permanently mount shares either.

My bazzite PC in my living room stopped recognizing the Bluetooth built into my motherboard which is annoying but easily worked around with a USB Bluetooth dongle.

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.

As someone with an Nvidia GPU on Wayland, unfortunately quite a few places.

Resuming from sleep requires power cycling the monitors.

Glitchy transparent artifacting down to the desktop if windows are overlapping next the task bar.

Widgets in the system tray (KDE Plasma - I have temperature readouts) disappear and reappear randomly, and sometimes switch which taskbar they live on.

VRR support is pretty bad, causing black screens when using full screen applications.

2D-heavy games are flooded with thousands of vulkan draw calls, leading to abysmal performance and massive current spikes (and therefore coil whine). This is mitigated per-game with dxvk settings - often removing the whine without improving performance.

HDR is … technically available.

Overall I’m happy, but I cannot recommend this experience to anyone I know because it would drive them insane.

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

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.

My only pain, since last year, is the horrible amount of tweaking needed to have flameshot work in Gnome. I have not found a single screen shot app that even comes close in terms of features and UI.

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.

I started playing Warframe again recently, after a many years break (something like five years). There’s an app that shows you the value of random rewards that open, so you know what to choose (WFInfo) I have not been able to get it to work. There’s also Linux alternatives, one of which I’ve been messing with trying to get it to run, and the other is much more limited.

Other than this, I have no recent issues. I’ve been full-time Linux for like three years now, so I’ve got everything sorted, and I usually can get anything running that I need, even when people say it doesn’t work.

Edit: for anyone who wants to help, I’m on Garuda (an Arch based distro). That probably won’t matter, but who knows.
