I’m an artist and musician and my iPad Pro is pretty much useless because it can’t run any real software programs. It can only run what are essentially mobile apps. It’s pretty pathetic considering it’s the price of a new laptop.

Have you tried apps like Procreate / Linea Sketch? They are really, really good and you can't match the touch + stylus experience on a desktop computer. These are "real software" by all definitions.

I imagine you want to run a windowed system on it ("real apps"), and are just not used to touch UIs. It's just a different paradigm.
