I remember when Canonical did a lot of work to fix 'papercuts' in the linux desktop, and they used that term because there was a lot of 'small' bugs that really added up to make the whole thing a pain to use. Especially at the time people were advocating desktop linux as better/more stable than windows but the reality was that for many common tasks you would run into brokeness (audio glitches, wifi problems, etc), but many open source devs saw these bugs as 'minor' although they had an outsize impact on the user experience.
