Is there a way for me to pay to get specific Linux issues fixed?

I'm currently using Ubuntu as my daily driver, and as much as some people like to say that Ubuntu "just works", it doesn't. There's daily issues you just have to get used to or spend 8 hours scrolling through forums and stack overflow finding fixes for, only to have broken on the next update.

Is it possible for me to sponsor getting specific issues in linux fixed? I know "linux" is broad here, I'm leaving it broad on purpose because I'm not attached to a specific DE or distro.
