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.)

If you're into desktop functionality, better VNC implementations are badly needed. It's not intuitive on most desktop distros how to configure a remote desktop solution correctly. We're nowhere near the "it just works" quality that RDP has on Windows.

If you're into hardware, I suspect there's work that needs to be done with BD-R DL/XL support. I don't think I've ever successfully burned a multi-layer Blu Ray disc across multiple distros, burners, and drives.

Seconding a desire for a defacto RDP solution for Linux. Bonus points if it works on android
