my view for linux is basically macos but FOSS, my dream system would be a fully immutable install with secure boot and fully verified root on boot it would most likely use gnome and wayland and the only way to install programs will flatpak, there wont be a package manager it will instead be an image-based OS with everything needed preinstalled(amd,intel,nvidia drivers etc) if anyone is interested in developing something like this hit me up

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.

An immutable distro with working gpu passthrough for vms (or whatvere that's called). That's the dream
I like that it's kind of the wild west, there's no single way to do anything and you're sort of on your own with it, which also means you're free to do whatever you want with it.
Choose what software you do or don't want, delete important system files if you really want to, break stuff and be allowed to fix it yourself rather than a company telling you what you can and can't do with your own computer
As long as it stays like that it's good how it is
More of the few games remaining that don't run on Linux via proton making the slightest effort to support it would be nice though
