What Would You Like To See Improved in GNU/Linux? (lemmy.ca)

Hey guys, I'm just an ordinary dev looking for something to work on. While messing around with my hobby projects, I couldn't help but notice that under the surface, there are a lot of places that the libre desktop can be improved. I'd like to take on your suggestions on what I should seriously consider working on and helping out with.

Thanks for any comments and suggestions.

(For those wondering, I'm still working on my other stuff.)

The "Open source or die" nature of a lot of enthusiasts and distros doesn't help either.

If someone new installs debian on their machine and didn't know their wifi card needs proprietary drivers then they're kinda screwed unless they have another machine handy. Plus a lot of the time the open source driver will be worse for X but better for Y so now you have that conundrum.
