If iPadOS were as open as macOS, iPads would rival Macs with regard to versatility. Right now, I can’t use an iPad because it doesn’t have:
– Homebrew
– Terminal
– Visual Studio Code
File and window management could also be improved but that’s much less important.
It would be great to have Mac-like power with the option of touch input.
But I’m not holding my breath. It currently seems more likely that I’ll eventually switch completely over to Linux.
