I recently had to use windows for stuff and after a year of using Linux, it made me realise how janky windows is in comparison. Even on a top spec pc unminimized (or resized) windows flash white before their contents appear. Super-d to minimize/maximize doesn’t bring all windows back up or in the same order. And these are greatly amplified when the computer isn’t that powerful, so much so that you can see individual regions of some programs render one by one. In addition, moving the kde connect window sometimes made the screen stutter and flicker (???) and at some point my mouse stopped working (touchpad was fine), I tried reinstalling drivers and stuff but ultimately I had to reboot for it to work again.
Brings back memories of my laptop loudly booting up in the middle of the night for no apparent cause or reason and mouse cursor going invisible upon random boots that made me save a file in the middle of the desktop about how to fix it.
It’s incredible how Linux is both free and a more stable experience, even as a nvidia+wayland user.
Mate, your gonna get downvoted because these absolutely aren’t universal problems lol. Chrome can’t update? USB file transfers are broken? Ssd waking a system? These are not problems I’ve experienced in years of Linux distros across a rainbow of hardware…
Ssd wake is a bios issue. Monitor issue has happened on every distro I’ve tried. Vpn cert import is a distro issue as its been fine in other distros. Idk what’s going on with chrome. It’s not bothered me enough to look into yet. When I do have to use windows there are non of these issues.
