My biggest wish is Ubuntu (and Debian) switching from systemd to any other init system. I know that won't happen but I was asked and that's the only thing I want, whenever you like it or not.
I'm curious what init system would you prefer?
Flavor: Ubuntu Desktop Headline: Good (or even acceptable) high-DPI & multi-monitor support Description: High-DPI support is really bad in Ubuntu right now, and multiple external monitors are poorly supported. Here are some of problems I experience regularly: - Ubuntu won't remember screen configurations when unplugging and "replugging" external monitors, which means I have to reconfigure them again and again. - Ofte…
+1 that the UI scaling is nowhere near as good as OSX in either unity or gnome. I'm either stuck with normal sized fonts but oversized UI elements (button / text field height) or the reverse.
Definitely agree about the "Display" settings dialogue annoyance.
Also, Monitors with varying DPIs were so bad that I just bought another 4k screen rather than trying to make my 1080p one work alongside the 4k one.
I want a single website w/ a shop, docs and related resources where I can consume anything from a mobile device, laptop, chromecast-like devices or anything similar.
I've spent $3000 for my last laptop and the most important thing was compatibility with open source software.
- HEADLINE: Fix frequent wireless networking crashes.
- DESCRIPTION: Since switching to systemd Ubuntu wireless has become unstable. Default install. Unity desktop. Several different wireless cards tested.
- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Husband trying to make his wife happy via the relatively simple Unity desktop.
HEADLINE: Multitouch trackpad gestures and background noise cancellation in the UI.
DESCRIPTION:
- Multitouch trackpad gestures, like in MacOS. So 2/3/5 finger gestures. Pinch to zoom in the browser, 3 finger drag ecc..
- Microphone background noise cancellation UI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHcd-GXgnDM
FLAVOUR: Ubuntu Desktop HEADLINE: Bluetooh that works DESCRIPTION: I never managed to have my PC playing music through blutooth to a bluetooth loudspeaker. (I'm using Xbuntu, playing mp3s with mpv.) I think it could be because the audio system seems messy: should I have jackd enabled? What is it? So maybe the headline should be to cleanup audio system, specially its routes.

You have two options to try: 1. install the pulseaudio-bluetooth-module, if you didn't 2. follow the procedure below BT in Ubuntu is in an embarrassing state, and I'm not exaggerating. After they've upgraded bluez to version 5, the workflow for connecting BT audio peripherals is: - connect the peripheral (takes a few attempts...) - disable the profile (set to off) - disconnect the peripheral - re-connect the peripher…
- HEADLINE: Bleeding edge drivers with autodetection / appropriate kernel tuning
- DESCRIPTION: How many year has it been that we need to have correct performance management / drivers enabled to correctly use quicksync with discrete GPU's, for how long will we need to tune cpu behavior / peripherals power management ourselves to have decent power usage? A "I'm the system, I know what I need" one button optimization would be really appreciated...

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop - HEADLINE: Please, please, please fix space issues with /boot. - DESCRIPTION: I'm constantly running out of space in /boot, due to kernel updates. It drives me so incredibly batty. If I had to guess, this is due to poor defaults in the installer for folks that opt to encrypt their whole disk. Even still, this system was setup back on 14.04 (don't think it started on 12.04), and I have no int…

+1 -- This is the one and only problem I have to regularly help my non-technical Ubuntu friends (and their friends) with. Every few months they cannot install updates anymore because their /boot fills up and apt fails to install a new kernel package. The simplest fix would probably be to make /boot large enough by default (in the order of 10GB or 20GB or so -- the current size is 512MB IIRC). A better fix would be to…
