- HiDPI support in desktops Open source makes it hard. Too many choices. Apple and Microsoft have an army and can decide an API from the top down and have an organization put resources into making a consistent experience. Windows 10 and macOS have absolutely beautiful scaling. On Linux, fractional scaling crashes often. Wayland and Xorg having to handle it separately adds further fragmentation. PopOS is nice: https://system76.com/pop https://system76.com/pop. - Mail clients with streamlined UI's: Geary is as close as you can get to Airmail (macOS) and Mailbird (Windows) - Window snapping: Aero snap in Windows, Magnet in macOS. Gnome doesn't want to do quarter scaling, despite it being a common sense request, and the extensions don't like gTile don't use the same behavior at all - so basically it doesn't exist. (Correction, Gnome seems open to doing it but needs help? https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/b7f3rl/any_future_plans_for_quarter_tiling/ejuj9si/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/b7f3rl/any_future_pl...) On the other hand, Linux has amazing: - PDF readers. Every desktop environment seems to have its own PDF reader that does a better job than any proprietary one. Okular, evince, mupdf, xpdf. Any they're lite. Zero bloat. - Package management. Every distros package management experience and their stock beats any app store. They don't force you to login. - Terminals. Kitty is fantastic (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/ https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) - Input: ibus and fcitx - Access / Installing shared libraries and headers. No need to download xcode or grab Visual C++ - Not open source, but Spotify, Chrome, Slack, Firefox, Steam all work good
