Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

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.

I've been using Linux for long enough to have been disappointed multiple times. And 90% of the time it's about regression. In no particular order:

Liferea losing the ability to start hidden.
KDE 4.0, a trainwreck that made me leave KDE altogether back then.
Network Manager bug forcing my local IP to change, even if I need it static and predictable.
Ubuntu ads. I think it was the straw that broke the camel's back and forced me into Debian.

etc.
