I made the same choice, but I am rethinking it. I run Linux on my desktop and would love to control my iPad from the desktop, using it as a second screen or a drawing pad. Apple makes this uncessarly hard.

I assume you're looked at Apple's Continuity[1] and Sidecar[2] features of macOS+iPad. They work more reliably if you use a cable to hook them together.

Is this only available if you have a Mac desktop?

Yes.

Duet display (the original app which Apple Sherlocked with Sidecar) supports Windows 10, but as far as I know, if you want to do this on Linux, you're out of luck.

Its also impossible on Remarkable or another ereader. I wish Apple products were less locked down too, but im not talking about usecases beyond an ereader here.
