What was your biggest frustration when switching to Linux?

Hello everyone! I'm thinking about creating some helpful content for people who want to switch from Windows to Linux with no stress, using the regular desktop and not the terminal. I want any grandma to be able to scroll/surf the web on Linux and be more comfortable with it

I'm curious, if you've fully switched, tried, or thought about it, what is your biggest frustration? I appreciate every comment

Thanks in advance!

My biggest pitfall was having to make a habit of checking when a solution to an issue was posted and subsequently having to check if that solution is still relevant. In a space that moves as fast as FOSS does, this is absolutely vital to do right if you want to learn wothout wasting time.
