What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
An employee at Microsoft has actually experimented with wrapping Office 365 in Electron and also released packages for Linux.
-
It's time to give up on LibreOffice - integrate web based office suites directly into Ubuntu instead
An employee at Microsoft even did this in his spare time.: https://github.com/matvelloso/electron-office
- Ubuntu 22.10 is now so cool for me because can access to encrypted devices with BitLocker (like Kubuntu 22.04)...
- As a newbie, I'm very confused. Why does Linux not have one-click installations?
- Is Crossover for Office 365 still laggy / slow?
-
Why do people complains about high memory usage and high disk usage ? This is a brand new install of Windows 11 - it even uses less memory than a same install of Windows 10
For O365 there is this Electron wrapper. But not much else can be done and this is Microsoft's fault, not Linux's. We can't create a fully featured client for Microsoft just because Microsoft doesn't want to.

Office Utilities in linux
There’s also electron-office which works pretty well but I think there are some features missing in the online version of office so I haven’t used it much.
- Need help to find MS Office clone for linux!

M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think)
Then the slowness that you're seeing is probably Windows-specific, and that's why everyone else is telling you that Magit is actually fast.
WSL might make things faster.[1] IIUC, the problem is that starting new processes is much slower on Windows than on Linux/Unix and Magit relies heavily on that. This seems to have plagued Git tooling more generally but maybe this got fixed since then.[2]

Is it too late to learn emacs as a vim lifer?
You'll want to invest the time in learning Magit, which will change your life once you get the hang of it (and I was a heavy user of Fugitive in Vim previously!), and it's unlikely you'll find a better integration with GDB anywhere else on the planet than with Emacs, though I can't say that empirically. You just need to take the plunge and start learning it, then cut over and take the hit in productivity one day when you're feeling adventurous. You'll ultimately become far more powerful than you've ever been. Especially if you delve into elisp over time. I use Spacemacs, which is bloated and has bugs, but it has so many features that I haven't undertaken the massive endeavor to replace it from scratch yet.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
> Even in this article just a few sentences after stating we should start from first principles he then jumps into the assumption of the "desktop".
Agree. Although I can see how the idea of "first principles" can be a very difficult starting point. A blank sheet of paper is a scary monster.
There's a huge breadth and depth of non-"desktop" GUIs out there, some (like smartphones) are even wildly successful. It's good to explore them for inspiration. Some of my favourites:
- Arcan (https://arcan-fe.com/about/) - I won't attempt to summarize, just dive in!
- SailfishOS (https://sailfishos.org/) - mobile UI focused on interaction through gestures / swipes; I've used it as my daily driver for a couple years.
- Speaking of mobiles, classic Nokia UIs allowed you to navigate to a specific item in the menu by pressing the corresponding digit on the dial pad. Once you learned where a particular item is, accessing e.g. your SMS inbox was extremely quick.
- Apple Watch / WatchOS (https://www.apple.com/watchos/) - I've always loved the idea of a device where one of the primary interaction methods was a wheel/dial of some sort. The watch even gives you context-sensitive tactile feedback.
- ZUIs in general (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_user_interface) and the work of Jef Raskin in particular: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archy_(software) - this is the guy who helped design the Macintosh, but his other work took a radically different route.
- Magit (https://magit.vc/). Many common git operations are reduced to a couple of keystrokes; the obscure features are more discoverable, and the cumbersome procedures (such as rebasing, or staging individual hunks) become simple and intuitive. Also check out transient (https://github.com/magit/transient), which is the "UI toolkit" that powers Magit.

Not trying to start a rumble, but why emacs
This can be done most comfortably with org-mode in emacs. It offers a lot of features, and they all operate on plain text. There are also nice integrations for git and languagetool, but I guess those are less exclusive.

Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in
I would rather see innovative tools that lessen our dependency on 50+ year old tech. This is still a glorified teletype. It uses AI to autosuggest git commands? Contrast with Magit[1], which (while it has a tiny bit of a learning curve, but also nowhere near 23M in funding) actually makes interacting with git a pleasure.

A warning to always remember that Obsidian Sync is potentially dangerous
Also was using Emacs (org-mode)[https://orgmode.org] for years with (Magit)[https://magit.vc] package for git. I feel org-mod is a precursor to Roam Research, Obsidian, et al. Hit the spot for years but I wanted editing on mobile so that’s why I’m here. :)
