I propose adding an option in system settings that will allow users to set default brightness for both the screen and keyboard on boot, as well as options to keep the settings from the previous session.

In addition to Solution #1, include the option to remember the last setting instead of setting to some predefined default.

In addition to having options to change the brightness, the defualt should be set lower.

Some newer macs already do this, but an internal webcam, properly calibrated, may be used to set brightness correctly. Users may need to manually calibrate for readability.

When changing rotation of the monitor, check for existence of touchpad. If it exists, then ask if user wants to rotate touchpad inputs as well to correspond to the display rotated state.

This is really inspired by my want to use my laptop lying sideways.

The Idea is to create more subcategories which are the following:

-Media Players (Music Players and video players)
The place for every kind of player, backends and Media center

-Video editors and tools
The place where every audio editor and their tools should be.

-Audio Editors and tools (DAWs, effects, score writers, converters, etc.)
This is the musicians' corner. The apps with audio modification ability should be here. This is also a good place for Audio converters, Mp3 TAG editors etc.

-System tools
In this subcategory people can find drivers, codecs and volume controls and everything what is connected with the system sound/video!

By making it a configuration option for each separate user everyone could be satisfied.
The options could be:
*Display both things, with the name first (for sorting purposes)
*Display both things, with the functionality first (for sorting purposes)
*Display name
*Display functionality

The default option should be the one best suited for new users (i.e. one where the functionality is included), more advanced users should be able to easily switch to an option which they like more.

There could be an if-like statement for deciding whether or not a shortcut exists for each command. If it exists, it is displayed on the right side of the line

E.g.:
Edit>Copy Ctrl+C

Google uses optional 2-step-verification for your account. Having entered your password on another computer than your own, you have to enter a code created by your mobile phone. So anyone who found out your password won't be able to access your files in Ubuntu One.
Solution: make a similar option available for Ubuntu One.

Use a Captcha (m4+3eUz.) When you first sign up and a personal PGP Key that is for your computer only and make sure that the PGP Key is on a small USB Flash drive. Also to recover from a re-install when you lost your key (flash drive) have 4 personal questions about yourself that you only know the answer to so you may recover that key. also any application that uses U1 will have a key that is generated for that applications use only; and that matches your PGP key but is not your key and have this key come from U1. and also have the ability to register an application with U1 like you register Banshee with Last.fm's webpage.

Adding to my solution #1, I'd like to propose using a pin code when you access the mobile Ubuntu One application (like in dropbox app). So anybody using your phone won't be able to see your files without the correct code.

Possibly simple explanations could be toggleable with a key command (e.g. 's' as in "simple"). An explanation about this would be then added to the bottom of the GRUB screen. It would be among the other commands (enter, 'e' and 'c') and would say something as "'s' for simplified menu".
When the mode are turned on, the list would change to contain the simple explanatory information. The state of this option should be saved.
These "explanations" would be unnecessary to a more advanced user, possibly making it even more difficult to quickly find an entry, but will be helpful to the users who are not always interested in the other information.


An example of this would be:

With "explanations" off (normal GRUB):
* Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic
* Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic (recovery mode)
* Memory test (memtest86+)
* Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

With "explanations" on:
* Latest version, normal (Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic)
* Latest version, recovery (Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic)

There should be an option (defaulting to true) to remove old kernels from the boot menu on the first successful boot into a new kernel. Dual-booting newbies don't have to wonder what the kernel names mean, but the information is still there.

Why should the entry be called "Windows 7 (loader)" instead of "Windows 7" or "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-15-generic" instead of just "Ubuntu 11.10"?
For newbies that would be much easier and would look more userfriendly.
Additionally, normal users don't need the "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" and "Memory test (memtest86+)" and one kernel version with recovery mode would be enough in my opinion.
But there should always be the option to display the "Advanced options".

suppose your running a game and you can close the game its a full screen game
then even if we press alt+f4 the also it does not closes
so when we press alt+f4 it shut force close also when a user press super key(windows logo key) the side bar should appear this is in windows and its good 1 time firefox was in full screen and it was not coming back to its original state even on pressing key in that case it will be very use full its all about that application cant get full control and also there should be a ubuntu panel when pressesd alt+ctrl_delete like in windows the above keys i mentioned are not used in apps and should be in systems control

Make a better button control and the scheduler algorithm is needed for the button control.
That's the only way to actually change this problem.

Add an interface to mount the .iso file automatically on a double-click at a /media/name_of_iso location or similar, without explicitly having to create the mounting directory and then having to recur to the command line or a gui like Gmount-iso.
