For Linux, how about supporting HiDPI right. I had a XPS 13 (one of the best laptops around) and it was unusable because of this:

- Most apps would look tiny; Others gigantic and pixelized (LibreOffice... looking at you) and plain unusable;

- External monitors have to be at the same DPI...

Also, the lack of proper graphic software like Keynote, Sketch, Pixelmator is the other reason I have to stick to macOS.

It takes a while and it's really boring, but you can configure the scaling for at least the major graphical toolkits (Qt 4,5 whatever and GTK 2,3). Java apps are yet another separate thing to configure.
