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.

Less problems with Linux specifically, but they are minor issues that are annoying

Streaming to discord causes slight stuttering. It may have gotten better recently honestly, I haven't been streaming anything performance heavy enough to notice. Could try one of the 3rd party clients, but then can't have a universal mute/deafen bind so I'm not worrying for now.

I can't boot sunshine because I went with 25.04 and they don't have native builds for that, flatpak is not being nice with compatibility either. Technically I probably could make it work, but too much effort when steam is good enough for streaming metaphor refantazio to the tv for now.

For Discord I use a third party client that works exactly like Discord.

Just can't remember the name since I recently got it, but it's given no issues. I'll update once I'm home.

If it's one that has the ability for using universal function bindings then I'm all ears, my understanding is it's a real trick to get that working in Wayland due to how it restricts non active windows from reading inputs.
