      Would be a cool feature if it could be leveraged in a secure, private, efficient way that was more useful than 99% of the algorithmic monkey typewriter garbage that’s on the market these days. I don’t need a glorified Cleverbot rifling through my unspeakables.

        Local LLMs are getting better at a very rapid pace. Still a bit too resource hungry to have running in the background all the time, but for example Mistral-7b is quite competent for its size.

      To be fair - people don’t know what they want until they get it. In 2005 people would’ve asked for faster flip phones, not smartphones.

      I don’t have much faith in current gen AI assistants actually being useful though, but the fact that no one has asked for it doesn’t necessarily mean much.

        faster flip phones

        I don’t think speed was a complaint anyone had about phones right before smartphones launched.

        People were mostly concerned with cell phone plans. Talking used to be charged by the minute, texting was charged per text, and data was practically non-existent.

        Cell phones have come a long way, but I think a lot of people take for granted just how much cell service has improved. I pay $25/month for a single line that gives me unlimited talk, text, and data (Visible). Couldn’t be happier.

      That’s fair.

      I’m glad I don’t rely on any of that, personally. Aside from the trackpad, which works as it should.

    Remote desktop working like it does in windows.

    • easy to setup and use
    • can remote into a system that has been recently rebooted. Without needing to make the user auto login and set the keychain password to be blank.
    • resolution scales to remote client interface

    I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

      Setting up vnc is not as easy as it should be. I really wish it as just send auth, if auth create virtual display and perf devices as user that actually sends it to remote client, user sees desktop env loaded.

              yes But not in any way that makes it useful. It starts when the user logs into the computer locally. If I was going to do that I wouldn’t need a remote session.

              You can set the account to login automatically, but this doesn’t unlock the keychain which is needed to decrypt the user’s RDP password. So you can do it but you need to set your account to login automatically and set your keychain password to be blank.

        Using RDP clients like Remmina is great. The problem is running a RDP server in linux.

        In order to connect you must already be logged in to the remote computer locally and have unlocked your keychain. If the remote computer lost power and rebooted you will not be able to get in unless you have set the computer to login automatically and have set the keychain password to be blank, which is not great for security.

        You can not use a different screen resolution in the client than you have setup in the server. This means that using “RD Client” on my Android phone to connect to my desktop computer with a resolution of 1920x1080 doesn’t work. I need to use an alternate RDP client on my phone where a I can specify a custom resolution of 1920x1080. And then the user interface is tiny and does not fill my screen.

    I really want to have better tiling and window management in Gnome. Ubuntu has an add-on released with 23.10 that I haven’t got around to test yet. And I know that Gnome has that feature in the works, but it annoys me that Windows 11 has better management of windows with window-snapping than my DE of choice.

      I’m not a Gnome user, but I’m geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn’t get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.

          The one the Gnome team is working on right now, as described here.

          The basic premise of rearranging windows at an optimal size, without stretching them out to fill fractions of the screen, seems like the perfect medium between floating and tiling.

    I just hope GNOME’s developers would stop being so insufferable. Lots of Wayland extensions and FreeDesktop portals unimplemented on GNOME because of the developers’ stubbornness. These also adversely affect to other DEs and WMs and Wayland’s evolution itself because other DEs would have less reasons to support a standard if one of the largest DEs themselves don’t support it.

    I really love GNOME because it’s polished, but if KDE would be just as polished I will immediately switch. I know KDE works really hard to make the DE and the apps in general as polished and modern as possible, but I can’t still help but feel better at GNOME.

    One example is the color scheming protocol by FreeDesktop. You can now make your apps look greenish or purplish or whatever color you want regardless of the toolkit they’re made with. Right? Well no, because the insufferable GNOME developers keep blocking the proposal because they want the colors to be hardcoded by the DE. They were offered a compromise where a DE can just offer a limited, curated color picker to the user when they go to the theming settings and allow any arbitrary color hidden behind commands, but the insufferable GNOME developers said no. And the proposal, last time I heard, is still stalled because of GNOME.

      The one that got me with them was when they banned third party screenshot tools from using the default screenshotting hooks. They cited security concerns, which is valid as it stops malware from hijacking this, however rather than adding the ability to add to a user controlled allow list (or any other potential workaround) they just rejected working with anybody on fixing this issue. Instead it came off as a transparent attempt to push their own screenshotting tool.

        Isn’t that hook used by Zoom for screen sharing? IIRC Zoom on Linux only worked on GNOME because Zoom’s screen sharing implementation was to call GNOME’s screenshotting hooks 30 times per second

          I did not know that about Zoom, but would make sense given how stubborn the Gnome lot are that such a terrible bodge is required rather than them working with others.

      I think the reason Gnome is good is the same thing that makes them insufferable. They believe there is a right way to do things, sometimes those are things you like, sometimes they aren’t.

      Yup hard agree on this. Switched to gnome a little more than a year ago and not planning to switch back because the polish and stability is too good - but this is a major issue.

    I’m on KDE.

    Wallet sync with Android.

    Wayland crash recovery.

    General support for Wayland screen sharing in flatpack apps.

    Swap between KDE and GNOME without restart.

    Not for me but selecting different premade layouts for KDE on install.

    App by app file backups that integrate with cloud storage.

    Context menu of application dock shows Application window settings (otherwise only accessible via main settings or titlebar. (very niche)

    Casting the whole screen to Android TV built in.

    Option to remove PPAs that error via gui.

    Move window to an activity shortcut.

    Native support for installing webapps (think Samsung installing a website) so I don’t have to use a separate browser window or an unsecure electron package.

    But if I’m being completely honest the amount of use cases I have that are covered by KDE is completely insane. These are the ones I want for “1-2 times per day saves 10 seconds” or “1-2 times per montt saves a minute + standing up”. If it were not for these I’d have to list “Interact with my IoT devices via laptop and KDE connect to make me coffee without standing up”. Love KDE.

      Swap between KDE and GNOME without restart.

      It’s easy on lighter on DEs like XFCE or Sway, by using TTYs. Press Ctrl+Alt+F3, Ctrl+Alt+F4 etc. and start the DE with their start command (like startxfce4).

      On KDE or GNOME it should be too, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

    I want a tiling WM like hyprland to become a full DE with all the softwares installed together at once, some presets and settings instead of config files, so I don’t loose any more time tweaking it forever.
