To be fair, I mentioned that because that's one of the biggest dealbreaker features today in many distributions (I think.)

I think there are few specific pain points in linux that always get brought up. Other than that, desktop linux is truly great.

- Suspend/Hibernate on lid/close open. (Never had trouble with this on my hardware.)

- Detecting, handling, plug/unplug external monitors. (everyone seems to come up with their own way to handle this)

- Discrete graphics switching/drivers.

- Package management. (Too many different standards, and non-truly rolling release)

My biggest beef with most distros is that every time a project reaches maturity, the rug gets pulled from under it and a brand new X (heh) is the next goal.

I've experienced this twice. Ubuntu 10.10 was peak Ubuntu for me. And Lubuntu 18.04LTS was peak Lubuntu. Both times, everything changed for the next release.

There are reasons to start from scratch, and I'm not qualified enough to comment on the decisions made by these projects, but they killed the distro for me at those two times.

We don't listen to those people. Seriously. Of Windows, MacOS and Linux, nobody other than a fanboy would say any of them get everything right.

To be honest most Linux folks giggle on this one as well, it's been more than 12 years that hotplugging screens is not an issue.

I remember having it with vanilla Ubuntu when I started using Linux in 2008/9.

After living a year or so with Windows, two monitors and a KVM switch for one of those monitors. It ain't there yet. It does detect it but it'll just throw your stuff all over the place.

MacOS has been incredibly solid on that note.
