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.

While I can point out a lot of times I was dissapointed in IOS, Mac and windows, only time I ever got dissapointed was in the beginning where I was aggressively distrohopping because my first distro (POPOS) was extremely slow and buggy. Gentoo felt too sluggish for daily use and other nuances that weren't exactly Linux's fault but I didn't know any better.
