I'm using Fedora with KDE Plasma, and at this point I can assure you that I run into more annoyances with Windows than Fedora
Linux has the reputation of being buggy and hard to fix, so some people don't put any effort in finding the solution, but windows has its fair share of issues too.
The problem is with Linux you have a bunch of different "fixes". I like Cinnamon. I've used desktop Linux for a long time. I have no idea how to fix this aside from switching to Mate.
You have almost unlimited permutations of different distros, kernels, etc. Which combination will work for you ?
No one knows. Will the next kernel update bring relief? I will say when you get a Linux system working, it's the most productive experience you can have. Microsoft isn't constantly begging for more money.
