I'd love to see more features to make businesses take it seriously as an OS. It's an uphill battle to introduce Linux into conventional corporate environment.

For instance, here's a short list of things that simply aren't as easy on Linux:
* Easy integration with Azure AD or Google Workspace for SSO authentication - on par with other solutions like Windows, MacOS, or ChromeOS
* Local MFA support for privileged actions that is easy to configure without editing PAM files, etc. For instance, YubiKey smartcard authentication support for both sign-on and privileged operations - GUI escalation and sudo/doas.
* Automated device enrollment that sets policies and enrolls the device to a mobile device management (MDM) solution similar to Windows Autopilot or Apple Business Manager.
* It is currently VERY difficult if not nearly impossible to enable full-disk encryption on Ubuntu after an installation. There needs to be a way to do that without a reinstallation. This is possible with FileVault and BitWarden.
