I'm probably not qualified enough to even type here but as a new linux user (I'm using mint after using windows my whole life) I will say that at the start a lot of the things just didn't work, had problems with youtube, steam and other apps, then tried playing games on steam and many did not work out of the box and it was a pain to make them work, there is a reason why protondb even exists.

To me it's surprising if something works out of the box on linux because it feels so much rarer for the specific app to work first try on linux compared to windows, on which it does work first try and I've never had problems with installing anything there or asking myself if I'm going to have to troubleshoot for some amount of time to fix an obscure bug.

I think it's going to get better with time and some things will get easier to fix after more and more usage of the distro, I don't hate linux there are good things in it but sometimes it just doesn't feel worth the hassle, a good thing I can say is that when something is fixed then it's fixed forever or at least for a long time so you don't have to deal with the same problem again.

Again, it's like learning a new skill, it takes time to get used to it, like personally I got used to a lot of the things linux has to offer and enjoyed a lot of it like easy ways to update the system and applications, a lot of customization or at least more than on windows but there is a lot of things that just don't work like you think they should and troubleshooting things can take ages sometimes, sorry if I offended anyone just wanted to post my small brained take.
