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.

Let me remind you that you wrote that,

People complain at something not working are missing the point.

It’s open source. You spot something you don’t like, change it.

Learn to code, contribute, fix things.

There is very little stopping you.

Do you think that you can fix something not working by writing documentation? Or do you think that you can fix something not working by testing? Or do you think that you can fix something not working by investing in visual elements? And so on and so forth.

No. Obviously not. If you want to fix something not working, then you have to get your hands dirty with the source code
