For me, it’s mostly the lack of GPU acceleration. I’m using an Nvidia GPU a lot of the time and Nvidia’s proprietary drivers are causing loads of issues. This is especially noticeable playing videos in Firefox. I’ve found a method to force video decoding to be done on the GPU which helps a lot, but on Windows this Just Works.
I also found KDE rather frustrating. It’s fast and snappy, but it’s just not what I’m used to. I switched to Gnome and felt a lot happier about the way the system behaves ever since. If your current desktop isn’t doing the trick for you, you may want to consider another (Gnome/KDE Plasma/Cinnamon/XFCE/LXDE/what have you).
