Those two are particularly hilarious. The worst part is that they should 
be relatively easy to fix, but the problem doesn't necessarily appear on 
all configurations of Linux. It might affect a guy running an AMD card 
and not an NVIDIA one. It might only cause problems if you use the 
open-source driver and not the proprietary one. Moreover, it might also 
be caused by the fact that you used a touchscreen rather than a 
traditional monitor. As a result, these problems are essentially never 
fixed after a reasonable amount of time and tend to drag along for years 
or decades until they are COINCIDENTALLY fixed or patched by, get this, 
a _proprietary_ body. NVIDIA, yes NVIDIA, had to fix issues with the 
shitty Nouveau driver.
