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.
Lack of a single standard way of installing and removing software.
Some software on my computer comes from APT, some are installed using deb file, some from Flatpak, some from Snap, some are AppImages, some are installed by a random shell script, some are Progressive Web Apps and finally some have custom installers (like Jetbrains). If I want to uninstall an app, I often don’t know where to even look.
All of that happens despite Linux Mint (the distro I’m using) have an app for installing software. It makes things a little easier, but still doesn’t cover every possible option.
I highly recommend bazzite or aurora if you want an actual solution, linux mint will probably never fix this
This is similar on mac and windows. Some software is available in the built-in package management (aka store). Some are installed from msi or dmg files. Some are portable executables. Some are PWA. Some are via command line utilities like homebrew and chocolatey.
No workstation OS has every possible option in one place.
SO ANNOYING!! how do we see what’s installed, and then remove it. It shouldn’t be hard.
