Nvidia drivers were a pain to get installed and working. Lots of docker/podman problems, manual installation of drivers for certain specialty usb devices...

Once we figure out what the problem is and get it fixed, everything works fine. It's the constant tiny things that would take 30 seconds on a Windows machine, but require a non superuser to browse forums to find the list of terminal commands to diagnose the problem, and then more searching to find the list of terminal commands to fix the problem. It doesn't help that a lot of the linux or die types you ask for help are smug, sanctimonious fuckwads who make communicating with them even less enjoyable than working with linux.

edit: I forgot about the worst problem - PKI support. We have been banging our head against that one for years and still don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
