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 CMD key. MacOS got it figured out with CMD separate from ctrl. Never have problems copying from a terminal because CMD+C is not ctrl+C

The use of my ANT+ adapter with Zwift. But Bluetooth via the phone worked for 62 miles and several hours today, so I guess that will suffice.

I think most of us are grateful that we don't have that spyware

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.
On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I'm no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can't do it in one motion.

I don't miss anything really. All of my software already worked.
One of the only things I miss from winblows is how I can download an exe or msi installation file and just install.
I mean, I do enjoy getting things installed via cli through a repository, but I suck at installing from source for those things that don't have a deb installer or an appimage or something similar.
Otherwise, not much right now other than the fact I cannot figure out how to get the headphone jack to work on my laptop (galaxy book 3), leading to me having to use bluetooth headphones and my OS sometimes deciding I don't need the high fidelity audio profile options, making everything sound like ass.
I can't imagine going back to having to manage my installations and software updates manually. I now have someone that downloads, tests and packages every new version with my operating system, and OS upgrades are likely to have been rolled out over a few channels until when it hits stable, it's probably known to work well (in non-cutting edge distros).
I wouldn't want to go back to having to keep track of when a package updates and download it from some site that may or may not be the authors, and then hope to hell Microsoft actually does something approaching quality control on their janky, security-through-obscurity OS before releasing an update that proceeds to brick my machine.

Not much. Probably just support for some hardware that needs drivers like my 3d printer. But that’s what Vans are for right. Most other “windows only” apps work fine under WINE. If I have to say one thing: powertoys (some of them)
what 3d printer do you have that needs Windows drivers? a Formlabs?
Support for auto cloud sync from vendors, or just auto cloud sync of setting between devices.
DE stability. I keep a Mac around for times when Gnome is kind of broken.
cmd shortcuts which don’t interfere with app shortcuts.
Powerful desktop Arm chips.
Gui to manage services.
Gui to manage firewall.
Easy fleet management tools.
A real terminal services and Remote Desktop solution.
Desktop icons.
Tighter userland security.
Tighter OS security. Mostly dm-verify and fs-verify.
Tiling support. (There are extensions, but I need to experiment.)
Not having to recompile out of tree kernel modules after a kernel upgrade.
Base and extras being cleanly separated.
Gui to manage firewall.
which one? did you try firewalld or opensnitch?
Desktop icons.
you mean the specific icons of an other OS, or something else?
Not having to recompile out of tree kernel modules after a kernel upgrade.
manually, or even automatically? if it's the first, check out DKMS
