From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

What do you need RDP for? I did everything i ever needed to do remotely via SSH (I mean this as a genuine question, not that we shouldn't have better RDP support)

Driver manager like the one on windows and ability to install driver with just inf files, so I can install windows driver on Linux

KDE with GNOME design or GNOME with KDE functionality.

Consistency between all elements, apps and other things.

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

As a Gnome user, a expansion of that background apps think that properly replaces Appindicators!

Accent. Colours. Now. (I'm looking at you, gnome)

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

As a Gnome user I approve of this comment, some more colors would be awesome, especially if they are standartized through xdg!

Seamless transition from X to Wayland

[–] corship@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

For that to work Wayland has to be just as broken as x

[–] i_lost_my_bagel@seriously.iamincredibly.gay 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wayland needs stacking window managers that aren't just KDE and Gnome. I want more things like openbox. There's labwc but that's it.

And also Wayland needs more customization programs designed around stacking window managers. Waybar, yambar, and others are all only designed for tiling window managers.

Ability to pin applications to the taskbar depending on which virtual desktop/workspace you are in. For example, I'd like a coding desktop that just has an ide, browser, and terminal.

[–] SamVergeudetZeit@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isnt that possible under Linux Mint, or am I wrong?

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that I'm aware of. Cinnamon is based off of gnome which I believe lacks this functionality as well. happy to be corrected though

[–] iloverocks@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

If you use gnome with dash to bar or something like that you can desite in the extetion. And if I remember correctly muffin support it as well

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

A consistent system settings app that actually handles all configs without requireing manual editing of config files.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Dunno, KDE Plasma has it all. I would not mind some design improvements, but that is what Plasma 6 will bring. I just need to wait :)

TTS & STT, tightly integrated. And perhaps language translation.

Notice how none of these replies are “AI assistant”?

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

"AI assistant" just seems like a euphemism for "increased tracking".

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's not much I'm "dying" for in Cinnamon; it's very complete.

I wouldn't mind if the Nemo Actions system got a GUI editor. I think it's such a little known feature...if you go to ~/local/share/nemo/actions, you can add config files that can add items to the right click context menu, including but not limited to shell scripts. I have a few basic ImageMagick scripts that allow me to do things like edit images or convert them from one file format to another just by right clicking a file.

Wayland on Cinnamon would be great

[–] Gamey@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Let's hope they can pull it off soon, XFCE really surprised me with the speed at which they transition but it's a huge project for any DE and we are slowly getting to a point where it's actually neccecary!

You could use game scope if I remember correctly

[–] Cornelius@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need the game scope session, which there's only a package for Nobara and I think Arch too but don't quote me on that

And the session will require you to log out, which can be a massive pain in the ass.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope#status-of-gamescope-packages and i can conform on my fedora laptop it is there avalible in the repos to. I don't have a HDR display if you don't count in my phone.

Kde, cast the screen wirelessly. The gnome app does work but it's not integrated in kde display configuration

[–] iloverocks@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

How is the GNOME app called? I'm asking for a school project

I think it's a feature of some tilling window managers that allow to put each virtual desktop assigned to each different monitors. So instead of the normal thing where when connecting an external monitor it extends the area of the virtual desktop, you could have the virtual 1 on the laptop monitor and the external with the desktop 2, so you could easily switch desktops that could have different windows, for example changing laptop monitor to virtual desktop 3 and keep external monitor with desktop 2.

I've never used it, but after hearing about this for the first time some time ago it made so much fucking sense compared to the chaotic way that normal window managers behave that I really want to experiment with it.

Assuming that I'm describing this correctly.

Thats the reasson i use hyprland at work Gnome, cinnemon and kde are really nice but monitor independent virtuall desktops is a must for me
