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.)

As someone else suggested, there are plenty of kde apps that could use some devs.

Kde plasma multi-monitor support could also use some love, though its much better than it was a year ago.

I know that mobile linux could definately use more devs, if you want to stretch the meaning of desktop ๐Ÿ˜. Kde plasma mobile specifically needs help porting their stuff to qt6 for the up coming plasma 6 release.

What kind of phone apps would you like to see made?

[โ€“] Petter1@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

A good matrix client with notifications. That way, we could get nearly any messaging service on Linux phone. Additionally better webapp support (install on homescreen) and notifications support for PWA. And as last point, power efficiency must be better.
