Trouble alt+tabbing out of games in mint + cinnamon from fullscreen windowed and fullscreen. I can switch to other open windows easily, but what I can't do is click my sound manager shortcut in the taskbar to change audio devices, etc. So I have to open up the sound management application to make the changes. The desired behavior is to alt tab back to the desktop environment where the application being switched to is.
Trouble with specific windows only appliations that I can't get to work in wine/bottles. One I need to update my car's infotainment system and it's a huge pain in the ass. Trouble with weird .dll and font issues that are seemingly unresolvable, even once placing the relevant dlls and fonts in the right folders. Not linux's fault, just shitty software design. But still difficult.
I solve the alt tab game issue by having multiple desktops. I bind them to Alt + 1, Alt + 2, etc. Instead of alt tabbing, I just switch to another desktop. It's not a perfect solution, but it works for me.
Oooh I've never messed with that before but that sounds like a good fix.
I love multi desktop in Mint. It's frustrating because it works so much better in Mint than it does in Windows (which I have to use for work)
Yeah, I'm afraid this will forever be an issue for me. There's no real Linux replacement for After Effects, and Adobe's not gonna step up.
This has reportedly been solved very recently. You might give this a try:

I certainly will, thanks for the heads up!
Different distros have different bells and whistles. Mint is a long term stable distro, but comes with a dated feel. Which is great for some. I've used it for about a year.
