Font rendering (kerning specifically) is horrific. Scaling for 4k monitors doesn't work right. Multimonitor doesn't work properly. Paddings/margins, font sizes, and icons are all over the place and lack consistency/polish.
It also doesn't have a reliable backup system included (rsync is not reliable; backups should use snapshots) and you can't roll back system updates if something breaks (which will happen). Bluetooth, audio and suspend/resume still don't work consistently.
Linux isn't all bad but if you expect things to Just Work you'll be sorely disappointed.
- skydhash 2y agoLinux is a power user tool and I think that's great. Linux Mint and others are trying to lower the learning curve, but they don't have the same resources that Microsoft and Apple have. But they do manage to do well. You can create a distro that do all these things well. But that would require coordination across the board and result in something close to Android or Chromebooks. > Bluetooth, audio and suspend/resume still don't work consistently. That's a hardware problem. Most manufactures don't bother building drivers for linux or releasing the specifications for their devices. You can't do rally without knowledge in cars. Linux for the most part is raw computing so having some computer knowledge is a necessity.
