1. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: pinch to zoom with touchpads
DESCRIPTION: pinch to zoom with touchpad is convenient and available on most platforms. It would be nice to have it on Ubuntu and other distributions, too. It is already available with touchscreen on some applications but not at all on touchpads.
2. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Pixel-perfect scrolling everywhere by default.
DESCRIPTION: Pixel-perfect scrolling makes it more easier to read long texts.
3. FLAVOR: all
HEADLINE: Parallelize apt / dpkg
DESCRIPTION: Installation of packages requires downloading, unkpacking, configuring. Using apt(-get), one cannot install two or more things in parallel. Package downloads could be done even if an installation is already ongoing and requests to install packages could be added to the current installation process instead of rejecting them because there is already an installation running (with possibly priority handling).
4. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: One-click add ppa + install app
DESCRIPTION: It should be easy for users to install applications that are not in the repository. One click to add a ppa and install an application (with any security warning that applies) would be a good step toward this.
5. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Stability when resuming from suspend
DESCRIPTION: With too many laptops, resuming from suspend is unreliable and may hang.
6. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Higher maximum volume level
DESCRIPTION: One thing that is consistent across many laptop, maximum sound is too quiet for integrated speakers.
7. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Make Emoji input and display easy and here by default
DESCRIPTION: More and more people like and use emojis. A Ubuntu should handle that correctly.
8. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Show battery usage per application and alert when an application is eating battery (unexpectedly)
DESCRIPTION: sometimes, a process uses too much battery and has time to waste energy before noticed.
9. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Remote control without configuration
DESCRIPTION: it would be nice to be able to help a novice Ubuntu user remotely, without making him / her install and configure anything, even if they are using a public wifi, with low latency (with a possibility to take control with an ssh-like method).
10. FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Bring atomic snapshots to the common user
DESCRIPTION: Btrfs and ZFS provide atomic snapshots that can be used to go back in time in case something bad happened. Ubuntu could bring this functionality to the user by making it possible to cancel an update or a configuration, and to protect user's home directory from human mistakes by periodically making snapshots.This would be a useful complement to regular backups.
