My biggest gripe are all the extras like sound systems, I've spent hours
fighting with computers trying to get various applications to work, some
of which require one sound system, some require another. At least most
of the modern Linux distros have made the dependency hell a lot easier,
I spent the better part of a weekend a while back chasing down
dependencies on an old Sparc in order to get a few applications to install.

Oh, another thing I find annoying is the lack of a "one stop shop"
system control panel app. Just figuring out how to change the screen
resolution for example is very non intuitive.
