It’s even worse than what you suggest.

Try finding:

  • a solid email client: Thunderbird can’t search all my email for even things that are in the subject line
  • a calendar application with support for CalDAV and Exchange
  • an office suite matching the Microsoft or even Apple offerings of 2004
  • reasonable cloud sync
  • a decent vector graphics tool a lá Affinity Designer, a cheap tool developed by a small indie company

These are regular requirements for office work that I’ve had trouble with.

Oh and I also routinely have trouble turning off my computer, it just freezes at a black screen. This is a stationary computer with nothing weird in it.
