*PTT key on my mouse. For some reason it keeps changing that mouse button to some weird collection of button presses. *KDE on multi monitors my mouse gets snagged on the screen edge if its moving slow. I tried turn off the settings I found in System Settings but it only reduced the issue didnt fix it.

Why am I seeing like 5 different posts like these, all of the sudden? They're all the same, literally same title, just posted by different users.
Daily usage? I have some audio issues. It "feels" like the whatever resets/reinitializes. Really quickly though, playback isn't being interrupted. Sometimes it switches to a dead output channel though and I have to reset it to the actually connected output. Too lazy to diagnose it.
As a longer standing point of annoyance, I find it very difficult to quickly go UI -> package name -> bug tracker -> bug report. For understandable reasons devs don't exactly advertise their bug trackers, they're always a bit obfuscated and have some barriers.
Color management continues to not work correctly, although that may be due to some x11 wayland conflict. I have a dark color theme preference and certain applications that aren't directly available as package, but e.g. via flatpack don't integrate well. Gnome calendar is something I can name, without wanting to blame the devs of that piece of software in particular. They're doing their best, it's not a priority, maybe not even an issue on their preferred config.
I also have some freeze crashes, although that's more recent, might be a harddrive/hardware issue that throws off something very low level. But the reboot is so quick I barely mind that.
Gaming is the only thing stopping me from completely getting rid of windows forever, its slowly getting there. I feel powerful with my hands on a terminal, only the sky is the limit on what I can do, where as powershell makes me want to start chain smoking.
As a gamer who did switch, curious what games are preventing the switch. In my experience sometimes it struggles with indie games only released for Windows that have probably been downloaded maybe 100 times at best; and probably as you know anything with kernel-level anticheat
I feel like my CPU isnt boosting. I check btop and turbostar and zcpu and they always report the cores at 3700hz or under. The 5600x should be able to boost a core up to 4.6gz.
It doesnt matter cause my preformance is amazing already but i want to get maximum preformance from my hardware and boosting for single threaded preformance is huge.
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.
Multiplayer games in Civilizations VI take much longer to load on Linux Mint than they used to on Windows. Multiple minutes now vs about half a minute previously. Once loaded it's fine, no noticable differences between old and new. The longer loading times do become quite annoying when we need to reload/reconnect due to networking issues.
I wish amdgpu would get debugged so I didn't have to save every thirty seconds whenever I do anything.
Fedora: requires some rework of Nvidia drivers to wake the screen back up from sleep. Updating GPU drivers does nothing to improve game rendering so frame rates for games of yesteryear on a RTX3080 were single digit. Required some changes to h264 drivers just so I could see videos on YouTube or Dailymotion while simultaneously messing with my VLC install. My VPN blocks off my subnet whenever it's on so I can't access my NAS.
CachyOS (Arch fork): drivers for my printer aren't available without compiling them myself which did not go well. My preferred 3d printer slicer is difficult to install but that's because I'm a total noob when it comes to installing anything from GitHub. My VPN blocks off my subnet whenever it's on I can't access my NAS.
So far ChachyOS has given me the best experience out of a few other distros like Mint or Bazzite.
For me it is missing good and easy setup software for trading. Yes some platforms run in browser, but the experience is not that great as native app. Maybe some find their setup that is OK for them, but for now I haven't figured this out for me as I want specific broker(EU) and broker with API access and some 2FA security. Not that many options as I'm used to on Mac or much more options on Windows. Maybe I've found that SaxoBank broker with TradingView integration might work for me, when trading on larger timeframes(hourly and more), but if I wanted to trade on low timeframes(3mins candlesticks etc.) then it's unusable for me as TradingView updates prices slowly and I need faster update of ticks and candles. TradingView is also american software, so I would rather not use that too as I'm trying to get rid of as much american software/goods as possible. I was having problem running Metatrader or cTrader through Wine, but it was some time ago and I might try that again. In some time it will settle and I'll find the proper setup for me, but not ideal for now.
I Developed a iOS App with xtool and its Not legal to use Linux for App Development.

-
Can't change my Plymouth boot screen
-
Can't set animated icons in toolbar (KDE)
-
The screen transition I chose is glitchy
-
The translation tries VERY hard to be different from windows (idk what's up with that as on other system it was normal(propably, I would need to make sure))

I don't know how to run containers from within containers, but that's a skill issue. (I wanted to build piefed from distrobox)
For the longest time I had to disable manually a module so my graphics tablet would work. It was fixed a month ago!
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.
No fingerprint login. Its frustrating that in all cases I can use my fingerprint instead of a password except when booting up my laptop.
Also, QOL and stability features would be nice. Buttons that dont work shouldn't be visible, for example, and getting a useful error message from many apps can be a headache.
Recently, I had a problem where amy app using electron suddenly stopped working at all. When ran with the terminal, it showed 2 errors, neither of which told you how to fix the issue. Eventually I figured out that using flatseal to force all apps to use wayland fixed the issue and made things smoother as well.
