Linux is super cool when everything works out of the box. But once you need to make adjustments, you're in a world of pain.

I recently had the distinct displeasure of using visudo for the first time and was flabbergasted that this should be the recommended standard app for its purpose. An app which randomly turns mouse and keyboard inputs into random letters, doesn't have a visible command menu, doesn't allow you to click to place the text cursor, doesn't have an easy way of copy-pasting...WTF? 🤯

Now, I am actually a trained IT professional who has installed and managed a plethora of firewalls, virtual machines, file servers, VPNs, etc... but Linux has me stumped way too often when apps seem to lack the most basic attention to usability.

And the lack of standardization leads to absurd situations where to solve one problem you have to first dig into three different underlying subsystems and their peculiarities, spending hours on trial and error using scant & often outdated or non-applicable documentation (it's for another distro and two years old). 🙄
