- I recently bought a monitor and plugged it in. Sound stopped working until I rebooted. Figured it out easily with pavucontrol of course (just toggling things) but only after reboot. Annoying but fair enough.
- Connecting/disconnecting monitors is flaky, sometimes it requires a few toggles in arandr (which already helps a lot). Maybe there is a better tool I could use?
- Some wifi networks sometimes dont' work out of the box even though I'm just using the easy nm-applet.
- Like one friend's hotspot that I needed to use one time, didn't work and I gave up
- Some "exotic" public wifi networks like libraries require more effort.
- or even simple public wifi networks that simply require a web portal login (I've learned to just open nmcheck.gnome.org to access the portal easily, since accessing the default gateway IP address doesn't always work)
Obviously it's all a question of how much effort you put into it. I try to keep things as simple as possible to avoid spending time on this stuff. Would love to get any suggestions or ideas :)
