    My shortlist, off the top of my head:

    • Trying to solve screen tearing with Nvidia drivers.
    • Trying to get LightDM to show me my god damned profile photo on login (still have not succeeded)
    • Debugging a problem where my DE fails to come up on login unless I manually hop to TTY7 myself
    • Endlessly forgetting which of the two or three different directories my .desktop files actually live in, and navigating the poorly-documented format for modifying them
    • Fixing apps in my taskbar showing generic Wayland icons
    • Trying to have any consistent success at all with Bluetooth
    • Trying to figure out which fucking audio stack my distro actually uses so I can know for sure whether the magic incantation on StackExchange will fail because it’s for the wrong stack or fail because it’s the correct stack and the stack is garbage
    • python2 and python3 symlink hell
    • Faffing around with WINE settings

    I thrive in the pain. But yes, there is plenty of pain.
