So, what is difficult to accomplish on Linux? What seems to be the most annoying thing to deal with is integrating Linux systems with other devices, 36% of people picked this as a pain point.

Also a surprise: gaming controllers and peripherals: 9% of people who answered said they had troubles here. Wifi and Bluetooth at 17% each are sort of surprising to me as well, I thought this was a thing of the past, but apparently not.

As per the problematic categories, the biggest offender is sleep / wake and suspend, 30% of answers pointed that as a problem. App compatibility is also a big issue, 29% of people said Linux wasn't a supported platform for the software they needed to use.
Gaming is a sore spot, with 27% of people answering they're facing problems there.
So, 37% of people who answered said they could do most of what they wanted, but not everything. 33% said they could do everything, but some things were harder than on other platforms.
26% said they could do everything they wanted on Linux, and only 4% in total said many or most things they needed to do weren't possible on Linux.
As per the general experience of using Linux, most people seem to feel their system is very reliable: 56% said they have a few issues that don't impact their trust in their OS, 38% said they didn't worry about stability at all, and only 6% in total said they had frequent issues that make them lose trust in Linux as their OS.

16% said it was good, and on par with other operating systems, and 6% in total said their experience was bad or very bad, as in worse than other OSes to downright unusable.
Most people also felt they absolutely needed the command line to fix problems on their systems. 50% said they had to use it a bit, and 28% said it was mandatory to get a usable system. Only 23% said they didn't need to use the command line at all.
