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.)

    Hardware support, in particular:

    • Better support for dual monitor setups (at first this was niche, but the ubiquity of laptops has changed this)
    • Improved graphics cards support (curse you, nVidia)
    • Better ARM and RISC-V support

        The latest updates (a few days ago) made my distro crash on the SDDM login screen (I’m using a KVM switch, I can confirm this is a KVM switch issue). I could work around it by doing autologin, but it’s disheartening that I had to do it.

      ARM and RISC-V not hardware that is auto-discoverable. It’s the hardware not the software that is the problem.
