I've tried using linux desktop for daily use multiple times. Xfce was usually my choice for its simplicity and snappiness.

But, there was this 1 simple thing that made me lose faith in the linux desktop:

For xfce's default folder viewer: Thunar, there was no possibility to adjust a per-folder view settings. At first I did not beleive it, but there were multiple discussion complaining about the same issue, including a 12-years old bug report(https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3521 )

For a desktop manager endorsed by major distrubitions, I find this to be mind blowing and enraging.

It gave me the feeling that linux desktop is an un-finisehd, unpolished, hacky piece of software
