Alternatively, they could just charge to 80% and show that it is 80% charged, like iOS and macOS do.

In its current state, it’s mainly a tool for developers to be able to build prototypes or experiments quickly. From a user perspective, there isn’t enough yet. We’ll need more apps before it’s useful for end-users. I want to improve the core functionality before I build more apps: I already have to maintain about 2 dozen apps and I’d rather spend my time on building a better platform for now.
I have the exact opposite experience: I recently installed Fedora (stock, so Gnome) and had 0 issues. It was easier to install than Windows. The sidenote is that I have a Framework laptop, so my hardware is fully supported. And I was a Linux user before, so nothing looks alien to me. I didn’t need the terminal to get everything working, including wireless printing.
