I have no major problems. I have many many small annoyances that take ages and many DuckDuckGo searches to solve. One example is the keyboard lighting. I use OpenRGB and installed the udev rules but the program still claims I didn’t install the udev rules. So I have to manually set the profile every time I unlock my computer. The profile doesn’t get saved and doesn’t get automatically applied at start up.

My speaker doesn’t get recognised while my controller and headphones do.

I have to enter my WiFi password every time I log into my PC. „Authentication required“.

Gaming works fine. Modding sucks. No mods work on steam, my Rimworld (admittedly over 100 mods) doesn’t boot up. On windows it works.

And so on.

Makes it kinda hard to love the OS to me.
