Windows Subsystem for Linux migration to Microsoft Store begins in Windows 11 Insider programme

I find that the desktop environments is one area that can do with some significant improvements.

I still get lots of UI bugs in Gnome and KDE Plasma. They lack polish, much like Windows does for the first 6 months after release.
i find linux (debian mostly in my case - so read debian for linux) far more accommodating in this regard across many ui interfaces
Good support for mixed display scaling is also still an issue for laptops.
i have run a laptop with a secondary monitor as well as i have in windows. not sure what your issue was here
They would be well served by the strict quality control that the Kernel development is placed under.

But the biggest issue is the significantly lower quality of 3rd party app's Linux versions. Thinks like OBS, Skype, Discord, anydesk/teamviewer are all have reduced features or significantly more bugs.
skype and discord are my only experience. skype was several versions behind last i checked probably a year ago. i only use discord for the chatting part so that works as well.
the lack of graphics hardware acceleration in media application remains a significant issue, mostly Nvidia and AMD's fault.
again this probably depends on what you are referring to. i imagine this may be true for some apps you use.
