Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There’s always software I can’t use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages… last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.
I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
Driver support for (older) graphics cards.
The screen tearing issue (may be related to above)
Dependency hell.
How a program or game used to work fine on an older version but doesn’t work anymore. Basically lack of backwards compatibility for software.
How you can’t always do everything you want in the gui and have to use the terminal sometimes and know some of the basic commands.
How a lot of the gui programs don’t have (usefull) error messages so it just leaves you confused when a program you installed doesn’t want to run.
