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.

Edge case but Remote Desktop doesn’t work the way I like it.

I like being able to remote connect to my windows PC and it auto resizes the desktop to match the local system. Plus then I can log onto the remote machine directly and it resizes to be correct for the attached monitor.

I haven’t found a Linux that does this.

Have you tried Remmina? It's been a few years since I used it, but I remember it auto resizing fairly easily.

Remmina

I use that and works fine with Windows remote hosts. The issue is Linux remote system doesn’t allow resizing.

When logging into Linux you can log into a new remote session that supports resizing, but if you try to log into the active local session then you can’t resize.
