Totally agree about "Pro". Imagine if they gave it a real OS. Someone yesterday suggested to dual-boot. At first I dismissed that idea. But after thinking about it, I can see the benefits. They could leave ipadOS alone and create a bespoke OS. They certainly have the resources to do so. It would open up so many new sales channels for a true tablet.

Asahi Linux already runs on Apple Silicon.

The EU could try to unlock Apple device boot of owner-authorized operating systems.

That's another path to having a real OS. And more likely to be realized.
Which sales channels?
