        Open source locally run LLM that runs on GPU or dedicated PCIe open hardware that doesn’t touch the cloud…

      To be fair - people don’t know what they want until they get it. In 2005 people would’ve asked for faster flip phones, not smartphones.

      I don’t have much faith in current gen AI assistants actually being useful though, but the fact that no one has asked for it doesn’t necessarily mean much.

    Basically competent support for hardware for laptops newer than 2014. Proper thunderbolt, displaylink, trackpad, fingerprint reader, facial rec support.

    Better Wayland support across the board, but also more Wayland compositors and window managers from which to choose. I’d make my own but I know so very little about Wayland right now and it would take me a while to learn.

    Also, I have always wanted desktop environments to be more like Emacs, i.e. to be fully programmable in a Lisp language like Common Lisp or Scheme, where you can just whip-up a GUI app for anything you want in a few minutes with a few lines of code. Operating systems like that existed back in the 1970s and 80s, but went extinct when Windows and Macintosh took over everything, which were never designed to be programmable by end users. It sucks because there hasn’t been anything like it ever since.

    To see what I am talking about, check out the historical preservation projects for Lisp Machines like the InterLisp Medley desktop environment or the CADR ZMacs editor.

    Remote desktop working like it does in windows.

    • easy to setup and use
    • can remote into a system that has been recently rebooted. Without needing to make the user auto login and set the keychain password to be blank.
    • resolution scales to remote client interface

    I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

      Open source AI assistant in GNOME… that can generate “art”…

      …so I can generate images of Elon Musk getting mistreated at the workplace as a programmer…

      …for reasons…

          Gnome has at least some payed developers at IBM / Ubuntu. (unless IBM/Red Hat fired them, yet?)

          KDE has a big community, and there is some sponsoring happening from Valve (!).

          Xfce, to the best of my knowledge, has no full time developer.

    A locally run, self hosted AI assistant that can do everything ChatGPT can do, where you have control and ownership of the model and can mix with open models that are updated automatically, - and a mechanism where it can be instructed to design widgets as well as other simple desktop features that adhere to system wide privacy and security policies on request…

    …yes.
