Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

No fingerprint login. Its frustrating that in all cases I can use my fingerprint instead of a password except when booting up my laptop.

Also, QOL and stability features would be nice. Buttons that dont work shouldn't be visible, for example, and getting a useful error message from many apps can be a headache.

Recently, I had a problem where amy app using electron suddenly stopped working at all. When ran with the terminal, it showed 2 errors, neither of which told you how to fix the issue. Eventually I figured out that using flatseal to force all apps to use wayland fixed the issue and made things smoother as well.
