    A better keyboard for tablets. Can’t “swype” with the current one, and the default settings feel weird. Made me not like Linux on my tablet. It’s not bad, but it’s simply not as good as on Windows.

    1. Built-in Local AI Assistant

    2. Local AI-Based Image/Video Editing Features

    Are these like… Really things people want…? These seem either superfluous, or like they should just be standalone apps dedicated to this sort of functionality if people want them.

    These are niche in their actual usefulness to a point of essentially being irrelevant. Of all the user experience polish, nice-to-have-features, and general system integration that this space needs, these kinda feel like proactive wastes of time…

      The “AI” stuff is just fluff and isn’t something that should be forced into everything. It isn’t going anywhere but it would be nice if the tech would hurry up and settle.

        Yeah, I agree. Like there are a million things to improve on in terms of user facing features, polish, and user experience, it just feels like such an empty, forced addition.

        Give me hdr, high refresh rate support, expanded user system configuration options on gnome, better option organization on kde, increased focus on well thought out user experience design, more graphical ways of doing common tasks users might find themselves wanting to do, or any number of small polish and integration improvements, etc. Hell, even linux phone improvements!

        It just feels like a lot of work for something that really isn’t actually really valuable. Especially in a space where we have to triage and prioritize because we don’t have the same resources.

    More users.

    But seriously, more ports of and/or viable alternatives to professional applications. It’s the top reason people stick with Windows—even when they don’t like it.

      I don’t see that happening like you think it can.

      I think trying to get people on Linux is kind of silly. Just document the stuff you do and post about how you solve your own problems.

        Not in my experience. Mostly it just hard-reboots. Occasionally a random process that is using lots of memory is killed (not necessarily the one you want). That only works about 5% of the time though.
