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.
Games that just open on Windows require extra work to play on Linux. Sometimes it’s just a few extra clicks, sometimes it takes a whole afternoon to figure it out, especially if you’re like me and not very experienced with Linux.
I love gaming on my Linux machine, and for the most part it is a pleasant experience. By far the worst outcome is when an update breaks a game that was working perfectly fine. This seems to happen regularly, especially with online games.
I’m curious what games you’re playing. Back when I started using linux regularly (~2017) this was absolutely the case, and even for a few years after proton first released it still was. But my experience now is games fall on either two extremes of working out of the box or being completly unplayable.
I just ran into a new crop of problems with Linux games.
Apparently Unity 5.4.0 has a bug where it will crash (or rather close the game) if Chrome is running. (Or any Electron app like oh, say … Steam) Kudos to Unity for fixing it, but shame a bunch of old Linux-native games will never get fixed.
