Unreproducible, random bugs that can be temporarily solved by repeating your actions a bunch of times until it works. Drives me nuts, and they show up all over the place.

Systemd.
Only because I've used something else - anything else - as an integrator and packager, and everything else is more stable, more consistent, more reliable and more isolated.
This thing is looking for sploits.
No SIGINFO. Barbaric.
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.
Which distro? Chances are you can install KDE on it and then select the Plasma session next time you log in.
On Debian-based systems, the package you would want to install is probably task-kde-desktop. More info here: https://wiki.debian.org/KDE
yeah i aware I can install kde.
You can probably switch to KDE without changing distros. Although, if you never done it before I recommend a full backup of anything you don't want to lose. That way if you endup nuking your system somehow you can just do a reinstall, possibly to a distros that does come with KDE.

That's not a Linux thing, that's just developers choosing the wider audience available. With Proton extensions, they have no reason to not put in the minor amount of work to build a simple compatibility layers though.
Yeah I was trying to say I can't think of specific linux things just things around linux. So the games and my distro and one project. Its hard to think of a complaint for the larger entity.
Politics. Let me grab some 🍿 for all the arguments about how "Linux is inherently political" and all that nonsense that I don't care about. I just want to use the damn thing, that's all.
I know this is petty, but title bars in apps. Please, remove it entirely. It's not necessary and it feels so 2007. I don't need to be reminded which application I'm using when I can use that screen real estate for other things.

Come back to Linux recently, with a mini pc and Ubuntu. So far it's Snaps (specifically not doing hw acceleration with anything moderately new) and Wayland not updating the mouse cursor when the CPU usage gets heavy.
While many Devs have been working tirelessly behind the scenes making everything just work, it feels like there's another group doing their best to break it all again...

The fact that Kerberos and LDAP originated in the *NIX ecosystem and still don’t work worth a shit without Active Directory.
That’s the one good thing to come from Microsoft in 20 years. Maybe GitHub too although it’s getting enshittified now.
