We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?
Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.
Come back to Linux recently, with a mini pc and Ubuntu. So far it’s Snaps (specifically not doing hw acceleration with anything moderately new) and Wayland not updating the mouse cursor when the CPU usage gets heavy.
While many Devs have been working tirelessly behind the scenes making everything just work, it feels like there’s another group doing their best to break it all again…
You can do a “minimal” install in Ubuntu that won’t install snapd or any snaps, but as long as you are using a Canonical distro it is very, very easy to accidentally reinstall them. If you absolutely need a Debian-based distro, I recommend going with pure Debian or Mint. Otherwise, try Fedora or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
