Any modern OS: MacOS, Windows or Linux. All have major problems. _Works out of the box_ vs _is actually fast_ vs _is good UX_ and so on.

All of them lack some kind of functionality: mail calendar apps are buggy (win and mac), GPU suspend problems (linux for me), can't replace hardware parts(macos), weird finder problems, weird "explorer.exe" problems, weird nautilus problems.

Why can't OS'es just work? Why is UX getting worse? Frustrating to say the least.

All the security/passwords/confirmation prompts is tiring as well. And from the developer side its even worse, at least on macOS. Security Scoped Bookmarks are a nightmare to work with for anything but the simplest case.

It's not just Desktop OS's. Mobile, TV and Car OS's are mostly terrible as well. Are OS's really that hard to do well?
