Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

I'm disappointed by the number of packages that aren't signed by developers.

Or that go with less secure package managers like flatpak instead of just working with Debian devs to add it to the official repos, because apt is actually secure.

Overall Linux has shifted over the past 10 years to be more of a dangerous place to download software. So more like Windows and Apple.

The number of things that want you to run a bash script to install is way too damn high.

I've also started to see more things recommend installation using homebrew on Linux.

Curl piped to sudo bash. My god.
