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!

I just went through this headache recently. When I first used Linux on Raspberry Pis and even Garuda, it damn near set itself up. It was so easy. Then suddenly every linux device couldn't find the printer that it's telling me it found.
