Efficient Terminal Use, But Lacks Software Support

It's the Terminal that I really like using for everyday tasks. The Terminal allows me to make changes to the filesystem of my computer in a programmatic manner that is much faster than using the GUI.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mostly dislike the lack of software support. Although things are improving, Windows is still far ahead compared to Ubuntu. I wish software like Microsoft Office and Adobe were available on Ubuntu. Also, the overall GUI is something I haven't been able to appreciate much. I wish the overall themes were a bit lighter, livelier, and perhaps a bit more animated, like MacOS.

I use Ubuntu for learning Bash scripting and find it really good for managing files and permissions quickly through the Terminal.

Ubuntu offers automatic options that can partition the disk, install alongside Windows (dual boot), and configure networking and drivers.
