The ONLY reason that Ubuntu does NOT rule the world, is that you insist on using ridiculous terms....

Xorg, sudo, etc.... With hundreds of thousands of words in the English language, I would think that the Ubuntu devs could come up with some better names. The un-intuitive naming convention used in Linux, is the ONLY reason I still use Windows XP. The ONLY reason!

Microsoft is currently digging its' own grave. It would be wonderful if Linux (any form) just gave MS a little push...into that great "Bloated OS--place in the sky"

The only other improvements I can see are:
1. Have the Linux kernal/loader update, update the boot screens listing...itself. It should show only ONE entry on the OS choice screen....NOT a list of every loader update we've applied. (This may be fixed already...I'm mentioning this from my last try at Linux...aka v5.10 :) )
2. Make some sort of deal with driver providers, app or game devs, MS, etc...to allow Linux into the: apps, gaming mainstream. This lack of support for 99% of the worlds' most used programs, is the ONLY reason that Linux is NOT a household word...yet :)

I have dreams at night, that one day I will be able to install Ubuntu and then install ANY program or game, written by ANYone, and have it simply install and run flawlessly.

I am running a PC with Windows XP, and want to switch to ubuntu, but when I installed it, I couldn't install any of my games, programming software, ect. on it. Because of this, I had to switch back. PLEASE add support for Windows programs!!!
Program List:
Halo for Windows
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration
Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

I think we should merge Rhythmbox and Totem. People shouldn't have to open up another window just to listen to music and video.

Yeah, yeah, I know this is techinically a duplicate, but the other one was submitted before 1.x series.

Banshee 1.2 is a lot better than Rhythmbox, it has a better interface and more features.

Yes, it's mono, it's sponsored by satan, but it's still better than Rhythmbox.

BTW: Leaving a comment with a reason of why this is bad (or good, however, just by cheking both apps is pretty obvious) would be a bless, otherwise, it makes me believe this is just indirect trolling against mono :)

Thanks in advance for your attention.

I think it would be nice if it was possible to have an option for minimizing the Totem player to tray.

Many people (including me) are using it as a music player also (it is also set as default for this) and it can often be convenient to be able to minimize a music-playing application to the tray.

i have seen a lot of mock ups and i really think they just want to make it look like KD4 and etc, I think that gnome 3 most be as clean as efficient, what do i mean? i mean that we need to save screen space! one of the things i really like of mac (i am not telling it should look like mac ok?) it is the fact that they just got one sidebar to do almost everything from file, edit, to shut down the PC (i love my actual two sidebars that gnome2 provide), the fact is that gnome most not look like mac nor KDE 4 DE, nor Windows vista, and as this is (ubuntu) an open community you can post your ideas but please vote this idea if you agree with me!

1. ubuntu must be always in a cd
2. ubuntu software must be in gtk+ graphical user interface

WE SHOULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE WITH A MORE ROBUST DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT (DE) AND OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) BUT NEAT, USE-ORIENTED INSTEAD OF FILE/FOLDER ORIENTED.

It isn't better then now?

Trunsclency(whatever) more eyecandy and glossyness that
vista has or office 07 has.its not imitation but rather
appealing.i installed opera but it looks terrible in
gutsy.

Enable Nautilus to use tabs.

Nautilus is Ubuntu's default file management software. There is no reason why you should need to open countless Nautilus windows to manage your files. It is time to bring tabs from your web browser to your file browser.

Add ubuntu Tweak as default in the installation

http://ubuntu-tweak.com/

Ubuntu Tweak is an application designed to config Ubuntu easier for everyone.

It provided many usefull desktop and system options that the default desktop environment isn’t provided.

At present, It is only designed for Ubuntu GNOME Desktop, and often follows the newest Ubuntu distribution.

Features of Ubuntu Tweak

* View of Basic System Information(Distribution, Kernel, CPU, Memory, etc.)
* GNOME Session Control
* Auto Start Program Control
* Show/Hide and Change Splash screen
* Show/Hide desktop icons or Mounted Volumes
* Show/Hide/Rename Computer, Home, Trash icon or Network icon
* Tweak Metacity Window Manager’s Style and Behavior
* Compiz Fusion settings, Screen Edge Settings, Window Effects Settings, Menu Effect Settins
* GNOME Panel Settings
* Nautilus Settings
* Advanced Power Management Settings
* System Security Settings

I'm not sure that "real" people use the Rhythmbox rating system which allow to give a notation between 1 to 5 !

Instead of it i suggest to have a much simpler system : a starring system (just fill a star in front of your favorite music see gmail for an illustration http://spaceagewasteland.com/images/gmail9.gif )

Brainstorm is a good occasion for a poll around that idea

That is a feature I miss very much in Ubuntu.

Like everyone else, I organize my files in folders. For example I put every music album in a new folder, every new movie, photos from a trip, etc.

It would look much better and be actually helpful for finding what you are looking for, if the folder shows the content as a thumbnail. I actually think we should copy from Windows there and have an option to set a certain pic from within the folder as thumbnail or just show a random picture from within the folder.

I believe that this is something that would make Ubuntu

a) look better
b) make it even more easy to use

Thanks for your consideration and comments!
