Oh! Came up with a new one, though it’s more of a unixism than a Linux specific thing.
I really wish that the core utils and other cli tools had a standard structured output option, like yaml, json, or toml so that it would be easier to parse rather than all of the random regular expressions needed when piping output around.
Edit: And it would be great if we also picked that same format for config files instead of all the bespoke stuff in /etc.
Making distro clones with premade software, wallpaper, etc.
Systemback is easy to use, but then complex to install for normal people (lack of instructions, have to manually make the partitions, needs 3 partitions but nothing states that in the software).
Post-Cubic customizations are easy for normal people to install but way more complex to set up (basically terminal only, need to know more abstract terminal commands for specific customizations like pinning an app to the bottom panel).
Basically, the classic Linux GUI problems.
I mean I wish games were just natively developed for it and besides that I have complaints about my distro. As much as I like it I wish it used kde instead of gnome as its supposed to emulate the windows look and feel and there are to many things missing with window management in gnome. I would also like appimage to keep settings in the image by default.
People that argue over Gnome vs. KDE. Shut up and use whatever you like. No need to yuck other people's yum.
No easy way to play sounds in microphone(like Soundpad program)
No SIGINFO. Barbaric.
