Linux works for people who are OK with using obsolete technology: supercomputers of '50s, servers of '70s, primitive X-based GUI apps from '80s, or is content with a walled gardern environment which is completely OS-agnostic (like Android and MacOS, as well as various embedded uses).
For any creative work outside of vendor-locked apps you need a real OS, one that doesn't require you to two-pass compile your text documents, and doesn't treat your screen or console as being located on another continent.
I'm sure tesseract would work well if you did your own geometry correction, binarization, despecling, segmentation for it. Unsurprizingly, the primitive state of Linux software makes creating such a tool impossible.
