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.

Totally agree. For some reason we have an aversion to learning from those that came before us. We have to learn the hard way and keep reinventing the wheel, often in worse ways. This post made me laugh because it is so accurate: https://feddit.online/post/929088

    I first started with Linux in 1994, with Slackware.

    However, I've preferred FreeBSD for years, now. The only reason I use linux at all is Steam. There's been work getting it working in FreeBSD, but not enough, and it basically only works on machines with an Nvidia GPU. And I've also been Team Red for literally decades.

    Ah well.

    Oh man, I loved the simplicity of FreeBSD. I was actually running it for a bit on my homelab. It was so nice and straightforward, wich suuuuuuch good documentation.
