What a disappointment. They had freeform mode as a dev option for years, but avoided pushing it as a supported feature. I assumed this was because it fucking sucked. I've tried it. Freeform, desktop-like windows on an 11 inch tablet are simply terrible for multitasking. But no, here they are, releasing the feature with no meaningful changes. The state of tablet multitasking is a travesty, but neither Google nor Apple seem interested in fixing it in any way other than a shitty reproduction of clunky desktop windowing. How about letting us tile more than two windows together? How about letting us stack apps into tabbed panes? How about a sliding environment like PaperWM? Just off the top of my head, any one of those is more likely to increase tablet productivity than "here's a bunch of rectangles; you wrangle them!"
Even in that case it's pretty weak. It lacks workspaces/spaces that desktop OSes have these days, and isn't extensible the way Win/Mac/Linux desktops are.
I guess I'm not really understanding what you're complaining about. Why not use a desktop OS then in the first place? MS Surface Go 11 tablets have been selling for like ten years now, and so have "convertibles"/2-in-1's.
