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.

    I hate that nobody recognizes Linux as a legit OS. But that is the same with many FOSS projects like LibreOffice. The format is not recognized in a lot of places, which is insane. Microsoft really have their marketing prefected

      The problem with Libreoffice is that they are satisfied with being a second-rate clone of the baroque mess that is Office 2007.

      Google Docs is the last thing to push the Word Processor forward, kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

      I’m pretty sure there’s a viable solution in the git +markdown+latex space but no one has quite found it yet. LyX is close-ish but misses the mark.

        I am very optimistic about typst, but I reckon that people find it immensely complex… One command and people loose their mind

          Typst is another one with potential, yep. Still early and it has a ways to go… we’ll see if it manages to take the crown from LaTeX.

          I think functionally something like the LyX concept of “what you see is what you mean” is critical, as is the version control (where git is the best option / biggest player)
