Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

    Not so much in Linux as in tools I want on Linux being Windows only (or X11).

    1. Microsoft’s Terminal App is my favourite console application, there are a ton of other applications to use but nothing hits just right in the way their application does.
    2. GOG Galaxy. There is Heroic which is an excellent application the integrates really well with GOG but (the last time I used it) cloud sync was Windows only, so you had to run proton/wine to get cloud sync support even though the game had native Linux support. In the end, I just wish GOG could if not port their client to Linux, at least help Heroic Launcher make cloud sync work with Linux.
    3. xdotool - I used it to automate hiding/showing my terminal window. I tried ydotool but could not get it to work.

        xdotool mentions dotool, never heard of it before.

        I haven’t used in a few years, since I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted. I just lived without it. I remember there being a hassle with installing it as well.
        What makes you dislike it so much?
