Probably vim. It works fine out of the box but it took me way too long to figure out things like why my terminal colors were never quite right out of the box (had to set it to 256 color mode or what have you). And once I wanted to use some a few plugins the configuration started getting a bit convoluted/confusing. Hoping I have time some day/remember to figure out how to disable that annoying visual paste mode or whatever it is called that sometimes makes using it over SSH a nightmare.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fortunately I haven't had to open it in a very long time.
Why did we have to learn what modelines were to get a picture on screen?

Isn't it always postfix? Not because of the software, but because of other clients and other servers.

Getting Keycloak and Headscale working together.
But I did it after three weeks.
I captured my efforts in a set of interdependent Ansible roles so I never have to do it again.
Nextcloud requiring me to set the actual domain when I just want to run it locally was pretty frustrating

fucking jellyfin still doesnt reliably work for me. ugh.
Surprised to see jellyfin here tbh. The docker image needed literally zero configuration to work perfectly for me.
Same. Just...works?
Selinux on arch linux
I thought this was pretty solid talk on SElinux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WOKRaM-HI4

Setting up a matrix server was a god damn nightmare for me. I eventually got it working but I hit pretty much every conceivable obstacle along the way. Getting the config file just right, the networking, the federation, the coturn server, getting end users to understand they need to backup their keys....
I'm sure it'd be easier for a Linux pro but I was in way over my head. Only got it working through stubbornness and help from the community.
Matrix is pain...
Trying to disable the lid close sensor on my laptop. My issue is twofold. It's a convertible (pavilion x360) and I'm using bunsenlabs Linux.
I gave up trying to setup a Mastodon server in docker. Lemmy was pretty tricky at the time as the docs were wrong. My email server was a bit tricky, but I've not really done much to tinker with it in the proceeding 6 years, so was worth it.
Installing Fedora. I had almost nothing to configure, it worked out of the box. How frustrating! I had the whole day planned and now what? Enjoy my free time like a pleb !?!
(/s just in case anyone was wondering)
Anything to do with dns
xorg.conf. The (wrong) example from Arch Wiki works but following the official documentation doesn't.
Caddy. The config and docs suck.
Eg. I thought I configured it to limit some sites to an allowlist of IPs. Turns out (months later) the config did nothing, but ran anyway.
Huh, I found it to be so much easier to set up than nginx that I wrote the devs a little thank you message
Skyrim mods.
Btw, anyone got the new reshade working on wine?
For skyrim, I'm using vortex in lutris, and install the mods this way. This requires a more bit of actions but works fine.
Wabbajack still doesn't work in wine?
hostapd. I have no idea how you’re supposed to figure out the 50 or so options OpenWrt outputs for an AX card that I just ended up copying. And why doesn’t it detect those on its own?
Do VLANs with multiple wireless and wired clients using OPNSense and OpenWRT dummy APs count? Still haven’t quite figured it out.
Me neither lol
it's embarrassing but for me it's thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.
