- Virtual Desktop per monitor? Nope, because Xorg didn't support it back then. And now it's a 10 year bug on the Kde bugtracker.
- A Dock? It worked ok. Until Wayland came and everything broke. It's supported now, but you have to clone the latest git commit of the biggest dock project which is not almost abandoned. And it breaks while compiling. A lot.
- Global Menu? The support is all over the place.
- Fractional scaling? It works. But in MacOS (with the help of an app, I admit) I can have incredible granularity.
On top of that, add the generally inferior hardware revolving a laptop, aside CPU, storage and Ram.
The MacOS desktop feels like a Gnome2 in an alternate universe where the devs never made bad decisions, and things like Wayland (1) never occurred.
(1) Not because the project itself, but the act of breaking compatibility and passing blame to other people has sent decades of FOSS development and manpower down the drain.
It's the desktop space that annoys me.
