Don't really have any frustrations to be honest. All my personal projects and stuff I do for fun (both mostly in ruby) I do on ubuntu 14.04. Use VIM, a lot of plugins and some custom CLI tools. Have never tried developing on Mac, though so maybe I just don't know what am I missing (windows isn't even a thing for ruby devs. And for good reason).

Only thing I'm kind of missing/sad about is lack of games on Ubuntu. Upside, though, I won't get lost in a "quick 20 minute brawl to clear my brain" that never lasts 20 minutes....

For sake of honesty, I do my daily job on windows. Stuff I use there is awesome. VS is nice, Windows domain works well enough and lync, outlook, fiddler, slack etc. are all nice. If, for w/e weird reason, I had to do my daily job on linux, I would be sad.

But most likely, I'm not frustrated with linux because I chose to use it for fun etc. If, in any point in my life, I would have been forced to use linux, I'd probably find a lot of problems with it.

//EDIT And uhm. I've never really had any problems with linux and hardware. For personal stuff I still run an old thinkpad t420s which hardware gets along with linux a lot nicer than it did with windows 8. Touchpad acts a bit better, touchpads 3rd button actually provides some nice functionality and most importantly, gsm card worked out of the box (something I never got up and running on windows 8). Once more, for sake of honesty, it shipped with windows 7 so maybe the drivers provided for the gsm card aren't compatible with win8. who knows.

Never had any problems with my desktops running Linux nor my previous thinkpad either.
