oh yeah ipados is limited. the windowed gui option in 26 makes it more usable for keyboard/mouse if you've got a large screen model. but it still seems geared to sidecar usage not a standalone tablet computer. which makes the removal of sidecar a hilariously apple thing to do. honestly gnome on an old surface is a very solid competitor to ipados if you don't need to do any creative work. and the issues i had when testing gnome and krita could have just been the cheaper 2nd hand hardware i used.
