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.

Yeah, "app stores" are some new-fangled thing that was added in response to the Apple Mac app store.

Most Linux users just use the main package repos which don't come with all that stuff.

I assume they’re just talking of the GUI front-end, so it’s almost the same.

most linux users now just use flathub and their distros flatpak manager
