Linux

Well I installed linux the day i bought my first laptop. I just started windows, got bored after sometime, then install fedora KDE because i can't withstand windows issues

Foobar2000. Haven't found anything similar in terms of ui customization options, easy convert and ReplayGain operations built in.

I miss all the crashes, the blue screen of death, the automatic updates that reconfigure all the personal changes you made to try make Windows work better, and all the hunting around for cracked proprietary software.

Not much. Probably just support for some hardware that needs drivers like my 3d printer. But that’s what Vans are for right. Most other “windows only” apps work fine under WINE. If I have to say one thing: powertoys (some of them)

I'm 100% sure that Raspberry Pi has that. I can set how much of ram will go for the gpu. But raspberry pi's gpu isn't really a gpu.

MusicBee for music management. Especially since I ditched Spotify and came back to local music. See, there are two things that I want from a music manager software: good playlists management and the ability to transfer such playlists to a phone or portable music player. Sadly, none of the Linux apps come close to MusicBee (and I think that I've tried almost all of them).

Some, like Strawberry, have decent playlist capabilities, but fail when I try to send my music to my phone: either it doesn't detect it (I'm talking about using the USB cable and MTP) or throws an error when transferring the files. And there are certain bugs that haven't been solved. Others, like Pragha or Gapless, cannot transfer music. Lollypop is the most acceptable one, but its playlist UX is awful, and is slow AF when syncing with my phone. So, for me, MusicBee is the only software that I truly miss from Windows.

And no, I don't want to just copy the music using the file explorer. As I've said, I rely heavily on playlists, and this method doesn't work fine for that. For the same reason I don't use Syncthing.

Been on Linux since 2007, so for me it's kind of the opposite. You just get settled with your OS after a while, you're used to how it works.

For me the immediately missing features is customizability in window management. I'm not a tiling fan, but I still miss basic convenience features like middle click paste, press alt and drag windows around or press alt and right click to resize windows from whichever side is the closest to the cursor. The different way it arranges windows (Linux tries hard to make them fit in unused space whereas Windows just opens it in the middle of the screen). Another big one is if you have a window focused and try to scroll another window in the background with your mouse cursor over it, it'll still scroll the focused window even though the mouse cursor isn't on it. Focus steal prevention is non-existent so if you're typing and another window pops open, it steals your keyboard input. The search bar is like, utterly useless, so is the Microsoft Store. The start menu doesn't open instantly like it has to load it every time. When you uninstall something there's still leftover crap of it everywhere.

Thankfully when it comes to Linux apps, their open nature means the majority of them just have Windows builds anyway, and what doesn't would work in WSL. So really all I can miss is the inherent flexibility and openness Linux gives me.

Messages.app

The ability to properly wake from sleep.

Not having to set my displayport version back to 2.1 upon every boot.

The 20fps drop I have when I play THE game I have that could use it... For like 3 weeks, every 3-4 months...

Not a big deal really.

Windows has spell checking and autocomplete that works in pretty much any app and I think it works really well. I often find that I can type sentences a lot faster in Windows.

Eartrumpet.

Being able to operate without a keyboard. Perfect for home theatre pc

USB support is bare bones. Always has been. Been feature requests in the core for decades.

Ive been mostly on linux for like 25 years, but i was using a chromebook for a while bc it was cheap (had a linux desktop tho).

I miss easily running android apps on my laptop. I could install waydroid but its not that big of a deal to me. Just the only thing i could think of that i miss from another os...

Visual Studio. But VSCodium mostly makes up for it.

OneNote.

That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.
