My biggest gripe against Elementary OS 6, that I think everyone thinking about using it should consider: There is currently no upgrade path from Elementary OS 5 that is officially supported.
You heard me right: The official explanation on how to upgrade to Elementary OS 6 is to back up your stuff and do a full reinstall.
Considering that Elementary OS is somewhat marketed as being ideal for, say, elderly folks or people less experienced with their PC, as something that a Linux user might install for non-techie friends, this is beyond unacceptable and also shows a certain lack of technical competence for the folks running it.
Edit: Also, I've made the tragic mistake of installing previous Elementary OS versions for non-techie friends I rarely see. Not anymore! What am I supposed to do Elementary? Inform my friends I've got to basically rebuild their computer the next time I see them at Thanksgiving to keep them safe? I'm trying to avoid using profanity...
