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.
I wouldn’t call myself an “avid” user but I have been using it for about 6 years.
My pain points would be the current driver support on new laptops. Nothing they can do but it’s always been a pain in the ass to encounter some broken ACPI kernel implementation that for example doesn’t call a required Microsoft Modern Standby extension or fails to bring a computer out of suspend.
My other issue isn’t really an issue, but installers need to have you enter all information and then just walk away. None of “do you want to participate in the package survey” after a super lengthy download. Debian is the worst of these offenders and I can’t believe no one on their team has ever tried to fix it in the years it has been around.
