From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The lack of drawing and photo editing software. Krita is nowhere near clip studio paint, darktable in nowhere near light room. I use arch with qtile on my main gaming rig. My surface pro 9 is unfortunately stuck with windows 11.
Surface runs great with fedora and the surface kernel. Unfortunately, the lack of software makes it an expensive tablet/laptop that does nothing special. I could flip the surface and get an IPad pro, but I'm not going the apple route. I've been considering the Samsung Galaxy tabs. Those can run clip studio, concepts and some watered-down lightroom app.
What's missing?
It's not a rhetorical question. Clearly articulating how open source software can be improved helps to improve it.
