1. My Linux Wish List (Re: The last Barrier to Desktop Linux?
I mentioned what I thought were barriers in my other post in this
thread.
I've been using linux for about a year as my desktop at home ( Suse
7.2 ).
These things aren't barriers toward linux being used as a desktop,
IMHO, they are just things I want/miss that have been slow in coming.
For fun, I just thought I would list them ( yes, I have sent feature
requests to the relevant organizations ).
Anyway, I will never go back to windoze, I just thought it might
interesting to list what a windoze refugee still wants/misses with
linux:
1. Faster performance on both kde and gnome.
2. Gnome : fix the bug in nautlius so it saves icon view preferences.
Its been
a year. A less confusing multiple desktop. Use the MultiGnome
terminal and
alter it so it has fonts that don't look like chicken scratch and
make it
simplier so it works like konsole. You have to go through more
buttons to
do the same dam thing.
3. Brain-dead easy install programs for kde and gnome. I would be
more willing
to try the improved versions if it didn't mean a potental hassle.
4. A command in gnome that reports what version of gnome is being
used.
5. A tabbed terminal emulator not written in the GTK or KDE libraries
6. TV and radio software for haupauge cards that don't require
anything
having to do with gnome or kde.
7. Brain-dead easy to install cd burning software
8. Brain-dead easy to install dvd software
9. Brain-dead easy to install/use fax/answering machine/caller id/call
waiting
software
10. Brain-dead easy to use wizards for connecting to printers
11. Being able to create and delete directories in mozilla's File
saving dialog
box.
12. Futz free good looking fonts in all word processing apps and html
rendering
apps.....out-of-the-box ( it *is* getting better ).
13. MS file interoperability at the level of quality in OpenOffice ( &
better )
without Open Office ( its slooowwwww ). It would be great to see
OpenOffice
put some of this code into modular file conversion utilities that
any
project could use or that people could use from the command line.
14. Install programs that would distinguish if someone is going to be
using
linux as a server or as their personal desktop. In the later case
it would
set things up to make mounting partitions, cdroms, setting time
etc easy,
without the need to use su or sudo( maybe this has already
happened?)
15. A better package management system. Dependency hell. We've all
been there
3. 10 things with Linux I wish I knew before i jumped
4. Andrew HElp
6. Alpha: Personal Workstation 433au
7. Came from DOS wish to continue with Linux...
9. What I wish to see under Linux..
10. more stuff I wish linux did
11. My Linux wish list for 2000
12. What is your linux wish list?
13. Wow, an actual survey (Linux dissatisfactions and wish-lists)
