HEADLINE: Support Wireless HDMI on Ubuntu(eg, Miracast)
- DESCRIPTION: Currently using TV as an extended desktop is easy for Windows 8.1/10, Mac and Android, it is not that easy on Ubuntu/Linux. Miracast will conflict with Network Manager and WPA supplicant. No native way to use TV as extended desktop.

#992FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop HEADLINE: Night mode by luminosity inversion DESCRIPTION: Contrary to some other suggestions here, I am NOT talking about f.lux / redshift or similar blue light filters here. These are supposed to make you feel sleepy, but all I want is to remove blindingly bright lights in the middle of the night. Here is the pseudo-code for how it could work: Get some region on the screen (possibly the conten…
I don't know if it uses "luminosity inversion" thing you mentioned but I'm more than happy with xcalib(1). For extra comfort I apply redshift after inverting colors.

#993- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server - HEADLINE: Please don't mess with python package management - DESCRIPTION: Take a look at this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/129... This happened because ubuntu decided to unbundle some packages that come as a part of the python ecosystem. This is really a major annoyance because it breaks default behavior that people have come to rely on in every other platfor…
The same would go for RubyGems, but these are a Debian issue. Not sure how Ubuntu could untangle that.
> but these are a Debian issue. Not sure how Ubuntu could untangle that.
Debian's Python maintainer is a Canonical employee thus Debian's and Ubuntu's Python packages are actually the same.

#994Ubuntu Desktop
1-Keeping the Unity design pattern and philosophy
I actually love the unity desktop (my first Linux experience), I wish Canonical gonna keep that ergonomy,with an app launcher on the left side, the shortcut.. When I saw the Unity 8 desktop project, I think that it gonna be one of the funniest desktop in the Linux World (I used Kde and was waiting for Unity 8) It will be very nice if you customize your next gnome desktop to create your own, with the same style as the Unity 8 desktop. "Linux for human being" is the heart of Ubuntu, with the final version of Unity 7, Canonical create a simple human practical interface, you can't lose that !
2-A better and esthetic's integration with gnome and kde apps
I'm in love with many of the app that produce Kde and Gnome, these two communities have theirs own philosophy and design about how a desktop software have to look like. A complete and powerful integration of this two different soft of apps would be beautiful
I'm nothing than a casual user of Linux and Ubuntu, not a developper or something like that

#996- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop - HEADLINE: Improved remote desktop - DESCRIPTION: Remote desktop solutions for desktop Linux really haven't changed a whole lot since I first started using them in the late 90s. It would be great to get something out of the box that was as responsive and feature-rich as, say, Windows's remote desktop feature. VNC is functional of course, but lacks a lot of the fluidity of other remote deskto…
X2Go [1] and NoMachine (proprietary) [2] are the best bets for somewhat decent remote desktop experience in Linux. [1] http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php [2] https://www.nomachine.com/
Thanks. I've tried them in the past and never could really get them to work. I'll give them another look.

#997- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server
- HEADLINE: Official support for installing Mesosphere DC/OS on Ubuntu Server.
- DESCRIPTION: Ubuntu is the leading Operating System for cloud environments and scale-out applications. DC/OS is a natural expansion of the capabilities of the hybrid cloud since Mesos is suitable for running traditional workload alongside container. However, after one year since the DC/OS Project launch backed by Canonical, installing DC/OS on Ubuntu still consider a hack. https://jira.mesosphere.com/browse/DCOS_OSS-25 https://jira.mesosphere.com/browse/DCOS_OSS-904
