I bounce off Linux every few years because I always run into a "that's just broken and if you don't like it go eff yourself" situation. Maybe sleep doesn't work right, or battery health charge limiting doesn't work, or I can't change the order of the window control buttons without throwing the whole WM out, or my 1% lows go absolutely in the trash, or some other obscure things just doesn't work. Also the whole "Wayland was supposed to replace X twenty years ago but a third of software doesn't work on Wayland" thing is just super embarrassing and makes me feel like the entire Linux ecosystem doesn't know what it's doing.

> Maybe sleep doesn't work right Over the past decade I've had far worse luck with Windows for power-management-related problems. Wayland is indeed an embarrassment, but it adds approximately 0 value for most users, so you can just tell everyone to use X11 still and everything will just work. (my most recent peeve stopping me from using Wayland: Firefox no longer remembers which windows belong on which virtual desktops. I don't know whose bug this would be by normal rules, but if you want to replace the entire ecosystem, you have to take responsibility to fix ALL of the bugs)
