Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.
Power management on a laptop.
Use a 10 year old Logitech mouse out of the box.
Mint’s stupid annoying print monitor.
Dealing with cached samba creds though the box to save creds wasn’t checked.
The lack of real competitors to office. And no, Open Office doesn’t come close to replacing MS office.
There’s lots that’s annoying.
But Linux is excellent as my servers, as my VM host, as my dedicated systems. Still has it’s issues, but works great for always-on systems with very specific tasks.
Linux and Windows serve different purposes.
Uhh, isn’t that old, like really really old?
I’m pretty sure the only reason Open Office exists is because of Oracle’s lawyers.
Everyone shifted from Open Office to the Libre Office fork back in 2010-2011-ish.
Have you been trying to use Open Office? lol
Or Libre Office. None even compare to MS Office, by a long shot.
They’re fine for the average person, but any business user is going to run into major walls.
We need to be brutally honest about what works, and the limitations. I’m not going to recommend a business use any form of OSS office.
Now Aunt Sally? For sure, because she’s not doing anything complex.
What do you mean with regards to the Logitech mouse? I’ve been using M185’s for two decades now without issue. The only issue I have is with the newer version of them which doesn’t drop an easily readable battery state in /sys/class/power_supply/hidpp_battery_{0…9}/capacity_level .
Also; Libre Office exists.
Try using one on Mint. A mouse that’s been around longer than Mint has been an idea doesn’t work at all until you search and discover a third party app to enable it.
ANY Logitech mouse works with generic windows drivers since 2000. Under Mint they don’t work at all without the third party app.
