I use all three - Windows, Linux and macOS for work (and macOS and Windows for personal use). Last I had these problems with Linux was 2022. We don't use the more user focused Ubuntu/Fedora distros. We use RHEL/CentOS which still look like ages old even with their latest versions, and suffer from the same problems. I'd love to personally use Linux because it's much faster than Windows, but at the same time I'm talking about the lack of integration like you delete the file in the Terminal, and the 'built-in' File explorer doesn't get that news (even in 2022), the display drivers have problems every time IT updates the OS kernel (hardware acceleration stops working), every software that works on it looks again from pre-historic times and for any serious development work it causes more problems than it solves which is reflected in all the third party libraries that we use which have something or the other 'not supported' on Linux.
- mrjin 4y agoRHEL/CentOS are meant for servers/workstations aiming to run 24x7, and most of the instances might not event have GUI installed. I can understand why those problems were there as end user experience wasn't the priority. And you mentioned it was IT that updating the kernel, if I read it correctly, then it's the IT did not do their job properly as they did not test an update at all before rolling out. For 3rd party support, it's getting better, but as you mentioned, still a long way to go.
