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.

I wouldn't wish Windows 11 on anyone. More people on linux means better driver support and more main applications. And better open standards support.

I've reported it several times. KDE just keep closing it as a duplicate of a totally different bug.

    More users of a system has never meant more driver support. The two don’t correlate on windows, mac or linux. Hell, the kernels been shedding drivers during the last few years! I also don’t think more users means more main applications, no matter what you mean by that, but it’s neither here nor there because neither one of us can pull things in the direction we want.

    What are the kde people saying it’s a dupe of? Is there a number?

    Software and hardware companies look at the market share to decide if its worth making a Linux version. If linux has a chunk of the market it becomes viable.

    This is one issue on the topic. It was changed by nate to the kup application, then marked incorrectly as a duplicate. Backing up should be possible with most applications. Today none can do it. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513001
