Main area where linux can be awkward for me is audio. Occasionally i have to manually toggle the audio device selection in gamemode to get it to pickup a new audio device. Another time an app may accidentally get muted while in desktop mode and you will have to go back on there to unmute it
yeah lol. my microphone likes to automatically adjust to 100% volume all the time despite having it on 76% input volume at all times. not that it stays there
