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.

That kind of comment is what annoys me most about Linux. You explain your problem and then smart_linux_guru_89 gives you a lecture about how the kernel module of KDE desktop library layer is using an instance of the filesystem version in vim-enabled interface and you should edit the famously-known /etc/rcmpfs.conf file before recompiling with the correct flatpack in rust binary stack. And then they get mad wen you tell them you don't understand and they end up saying you should StIcK To wiNdOw$ if YoU dOn'T kNoW hOW tO UsE a COmpUTeR.

In other words, the community is the worst thing about linux. It's been that way for the 30 years I've been watching it.

Not what I'm saying at all. KDE has this as a known issue they aim to fix. Gnome only solved it with the move to Wayland and a lot of work on unification of the graphics libraries to render those things.
