Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss (libretechni.ca)

Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Multiplayer games in Civilizations VI take much longer to load on Linux Mint than they used to on Windows. Multiple minutes now vs about half a minute previously. Once loaded it's fine, no noticable differences between old and new. The longer loading times do become quite annoying when we need to reload/reconnect due to networking issues.

Are you running the native version or through Proton? When I played Civ VI the Linux native version performed worse than using Proton, ironically. Either way, maybe try switching?

Since you specified multiplayer I'm guessing it's not time to load from disk or anything.

I'm running it through proton, didn't get the audio on the native version to work
