What do you hate about linux? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Ironically, it's only gotten better since 2015ish. For the most part I've used pulseaudio like most others, but I've also used jackd when I need to do audio stuff. After pipewire became usable it's more or less flawless for me.

Audio output doesn't "break," but it's easy for it to get redirected to the wrong device (e.g. by plugging something in, like headphones or an HDMI monitor, and the system trying to be "helpful" by automatically reconfiguring). With so many layers (OSS, ALSA, PulseAudio, JACK, PipeWire) it's hard to figure out how to fix it.
