We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?

Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.

    Managing multiple harddrives- I’m used to running multiple harddrives to manage disk space, but everything in Linux installs into /home without giving me an option to install somewhere else. I can apparently set a hard drive to be an extension of a Linux folder, but then how do I know what physical drive a file is on?

    Making shortcuts- was very easy to make a shortcut in Windows. My Linux distro (Mint) has a specific keyboard command for it, but nothing in the GUI/menus.

      oh i was annoyed with this too! WHY can’t i change where software installs??? I use a smaller boot drive and have extra large hard drives. it’s also very confusing how you mount a drive inside your media folder so then it looks like the data is actually under your home folder on your boot drive…but it’s not.
