There’s a Wayland one written in rust.(link). Though I’m not sure how good it’s now.

That’s awesome then. I had some trouble with an electron app so i thought it’s complicated.
If it’s cli, use toolbox or distrobox. You can pull in an arch image and get the stuff from AUR.
Glad you got it working!
I guess they’re linking the same repo. However they talk about their positive experience with linux on surface pro
Edit: someone mentioned that nobara has the patches incorporated in their release. Might be worth checking out
Aria2c is the best downloader for large files. It also supports torrents.
I’m biased to immutable distros ever since I tried Fedora Silverblue. It’s stable with rolling release. I have used the rollback feature once when gnome kinda got messed up in an update. I think gnome is touch friendly but never tried it myself in a touch device. There’s also vanilla os, another immutable distro which based on Ubuntu atm. They’re supposedly rebasing to Debian in the future.
From what I’ve heard Debian is rock solid on the servers. Not so much for a desktop use. Since you’re on a unusual device i might have suggested manjaro, endeavour and the other arch based oses. But that’s close to playing with fire. It’s easy to break but you’ll get the latest software on the edge. Manjaro even seemed to check for the proper drivers when I used it long ago. Pop os is great for nvidia users.
There was a GitHub link somewhere above. Check your device. See what works with the mainline kernel and what doesn’t. You could hopefully look for patches for stuff that someone have put out there. If not you’re out of luck for that feature with your device. Ideally, you’d be the one working on it. But if you don’t have the expertise, you could raise issues and hope someone finds it important enough to work on. Using a rolling distro, you’d get the feature as soon as it is mainlined to the kernel.
I think this is a clash on workflows. I’m a windows user turned to linux. All I knew about was Windows and there was frustration during the transition. Now I’m at home in linux. Recently I had to use Windows for work. I wanted the gnome edge scrolling feature for my touchpad on windows. Couldn’t figure it out even after hours and days of effort. The package management options was okay but sub par when you compare with linux. I hated the windows terminal. It always felt slow on my laptop. But was okay on workstation. I tried to mimick many other linux behaviour, like krunner and the windows alternatives ended up slowing down the system further and I was left unsatisfied. I’ve now returned to linux and run a windows vm in gnome boxes whenever I need something in windows world. We need to accept that linux and windows are like apples and oranges. We can’t make them taste and feel the same. We could hope for software releases for both platforms from developers and vendors. But the experience would always remain different. In the end we the end user has to compromise.
Edit: Op I think I went a bit off topic keeping other comments in mind. All I can offer you is the frustration is inevitable if you want to do edge cases. Stick to gui options. Try to understand commands before jumping to cli. Use a container or vm to do the inevitable trial and error learning. Try to pick up on how best to phrase your problem so that your search engine can give you the relevant articles and not spam.
I think I am more than happy with the os. The bummer is that many of the alternative softwares do not have feature parity. The more you try to mimic the Windows workflow, the more you’ll burnout with minimal results. I’ve come to terms with it and just run a vm in gnome boxes for ms office and tableau and other stuff. However, many a times if I want something that could be done programmatically I’d definitely try a cli solution, so that cant be the same pro for everyone.
I think you’d do yourself a favour by trying some other distro.
Kdenlive apparently supports whisper. Check the link in other comment.
