I have to say having used Linux for years there’s not much I hate about it anymore, it is very stable now in my experience. Maybe a bit of a learning curve still but once you are over that it is very hard to go back to Windows.
Package managers, in particular, are one of my favourite aspects of it. Instead of having to hunt down a .exe from some random website that may or may not be the genuine one you just
pacman -Sorapt installand get a version you can trust (as much as you can trust any third party software) and all dependencies resolved automatically.I guess the Xorg -> Wayland thing has been a bit annoying in that a lot of stuff broke at first and has only gradually started to work again or be replaced by Wayland-native equivalents. And although Wayland has some clear advantages over Xorg there are definitely trade-offs.
Gaming is still a bit limited, Steam and Proton have made great progress but I still struggle to get some games running. But I’m not a serious gamer, and Linux has plenty of games available both natively and through Wine/Proton.
