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.

On bazzite

  • Can't change my Plymouth boot screen

  • Can't set animated icons in toolbar (KDE)

  • The screen transition I chose is glitchy

  • The translation tries VERY hard to be different from windows (idk what's up with that as on other system it was normal(propably, I would need to make sure))

  • I don't know how to run containers from within containers, but that's a skill issue. (I wanted to build piefed from distrobox)

For the longest time I had to disable manually a module so my graphics tablet would work. It was fixed a month ago!
