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.

If I had to name a thing ...... My only issue is the lack of support from organizations. Drivers, though It's getting better for printers/scanners etc. but like HW identifiers from banks etc are still windows (and mac). And no, i'm not gonna install windows or anything wine-like for it. (so far I've been able to take the alternative route/work around it)

    Probably the banks don't even check HW identifiees, they see that you are using Linux and just decide to block you, at least, many reported that with many banks but it's not a universal rule ofc
