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.

Suspend/sleep. I bought a specific laptop so it works, but these manufacturers need to let our developers know what the fuck is going on in the hardware

The sleep/hibernate is specifically designed to work only with windows, especially on modern hardware. It's a known problem and it's not easy to reliably get around it.

That stuff doesn't even work right on Windows anymore.

It's kind of sad, 10-15 years ago I'd say everyone (both Linux and Windows) more or less had the whole sleep/hibernate thing figured out. But it's all gone to shit in the past few years.

Presumably, it'll work in a few years. Which is when Microsoft will change it to something else.
