get rid of this package manager crap and make it easy with a installer wizard.
i had a look at a few pages and didnt see this on the list and its so important to linux being successfull.... why is it so hard to make linux user friendly?

help wizards for all is my call...

if it was easier to use more people would use it...its improved but not enough...

a device that will let your torrents downloading but yu can switch off your pc! torrents carry on downloading. External USB hard drives are available freely these days. So maybe something in buntu that will let the juice flow from the USB to the hard drive after the pc has been switched off.

Maybe an option in the shutdown menu..."torrents"...which shuts down everything else but gives the cpu like 3% power consumption compared to normal...

...oh and this has "green" written all over it!

Bragging rights over Windows and Macs? check!!!

I know, it's a very important decision, but if Ubuntu will support Firefox 3.0, the Mozilla's browser must be STABLE.
Firefox 3.0 is planned to be released in June, that's why I ask to report the version of the new LTS release.

Please consider this idea seriously.

Thank you.

2. An Ubuntu flavour of Crossover-Office / Cedega
3. Introductory support from Canonical

I think this would serve at least 3 purposes. Firstly it would be useful for people to feel comfortable using proprietary codecs in certain countries where this is a problem. Secondly, some people would be more likely to adopt linux/ubuntu if they have to pay for it.Psychologically the idea that something is better because it costs more is a very real phenomenon. Thirdly, I see this as a good way for Ubuntu/Canonical to generate funds and (gasp!)profits. I believe this is important for Ubuntu's medium-term success and is very important in tackling Bug #1. The introductory support offer would be a good way of establishing long-term support relationships with clients.By the way are any of my above ideas in violation of the GPL, I'm not sure...

1: They cant use any Hardware they buy in stores
2: They dont have so many Software like under Windows
3: The Comercial Software is "sometimes" better
4: There exists no Software they need under Linux (CAD, Webdesign)
5: There are to many different Distrubutions
6: Software they buy in Shops doesnt work under Linux
7: The change from Windows to Kubuntu is very hard for them because of the control
Many simple thinks doesnt work under Kubuntu

for example:
There are no letter for the Hard Drives
The Windows key on the keyboard doesnt work
The Shortcuts are different
There is no Windows Installer

Maybe there Shoud be a small Tutorial with the first steps under Kubuntu for new Users and may there shoud be a list with alernative Software

Microsoft Office -> Open Office
Adobe Photoshop -> Gimp
Internet Explorer -> Firefox
and so on

A Reply to Eldmannen's comment: Standard Linux is basically Red Hat and stuff like that! It is not lets say Fedora or Debian!

The day it works like windows I will use it.
-I want to install programs like windows
-I want tot use the filemanager like windows
-I want program names with normal names and not cryptic linuxnames only meant for linux insiders.
-I want the windows-like interface and all the things I usually do with windows.

Every windows user wants to work like he or she did with windows.
If Ubuntu does this, all these people will go and work with Ubuntu
Until then : nada
I just don't understand why nobody in the Linux world does see this what every windows user knows.
To me it feels that nobody in linux world wants to see this fact.
Very very strange.
Make it like windows and everyone will adopt Ubuntu
