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

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...

I mean it should. It'll have a steam os installed on the device itself. It'd be a pretty silly oversight to not work with a computer running Linux.

X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year ( www.phoronix.com )

A proposal has been laid out for a new X.Org Server "main" Git branch to house their development going forward and cleaning up the development lapses over the past few years. Ultimately the hope is for having a new cleaned-up X.Org Server and XWayland Git branch for shipping new releases in 2026....

I don't think the code is the problem they are cleaning up. I think they just want to remove the contributor from the history.

Tempy ,

It is. Relatively so. This smells of Mozilla wanting to package things in there that Linux distro maintainers wouldn't package in themselves.

You may say I'm being overtly cynical and as much as I love Firefox, I can't say I trust Mozilla's intentions

Tempy ,

Not so much toggled, but you can break out of it. At that point it just becomes a fedora install with a somewhat different set of defaults.

Tempy ,

Yeah. I had this problem. I ended up switching out the WiFi module for one with better Linux support. (In my laptop it's just a little m.2 thing).
