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.

TigerVNC was a pain to set up on Fedora 43. Seems to be a documentation drift issue with online docs. Lesson learned rely on local doc.

ProtonVPN does not play nicely with my KVM network bridge interface. I have to down it in order to connect, and then when I up the network bridge again afterwards the VM doesnt seem to use it until a restart occurs.

I need to figure out how automatically to pull the port forwarded in my ProtonVPN session and have it update firewalld and qbittorrentd respectively
