Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss (libretechni.ca)

Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Right now I'm running Win 10 through QEMU/KVM to run printing software to print photos properly on my fancy Canon inkjet printer. I can't for the life of me find a software that will print borderless 4"x6" photos properly. Or even just print images on paper!

I'm using Kubuntu 24.04 btw.

On topic for QEMU/KVM, easier to use interfaces would be helpful. Not saying other VM software are any easier, but they have so many settings baked in, and I only get them running maybe after the 50th trial and error setting changed.

I just use the virtual machine manager. I think it works great.
