We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?

Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.

If flatpak is universal doesn't it solve the issue ? Is it the sandboxing people dont like?

My system is a mix of .Deb, manual compiled, and flatpaks. As im sure many are. Im not an organized person.

Yep, it's sandboxing that I don't like. They feel "tacked on" and don't integrate properly.

Same for my system which is also a mix of deb, flatpak and Snap.

The main complain of flatpak being size and performance in comparison to ‘native’ installations.
