A common folder would be a folder that all local users would be able to access, and have full read and write privileges to. Anything that a user would not want to be shared with all local users could be placed in that user's home folder, ensuring only personal access. 'common' would be located at '/home/common'

Like done on other OS, a folder at the same level as other user folders should exists (created at Ubuntu installation/update time) where permission for users are open to create files and see files from others.

Suggestion, create a /home/Shared folder which is visible in 'Places', is shared over the network for Guest user when Samba is activated, etc.

N.B.: it is possible to say that files created by a user and put in /home/Shared are read-only for other users by default.

"As it is currently, the only way I am capable of sharing files with anyone else who has an account on my laptop is through an SD Card."

Nonsense, do you think anyone would make an OS where local users couldn't share files and folders? Just create a folder as root & give everyone full permissions to it.

gksudo nautilus, create folder, right click folder, properties, permissions - easy.

Put shortcuts to it in each users home folder if you want to make it idiot-proof.

It is unreasonable to add more specialized bloat for simple things like this. Instead, add that functionality to a GUI 'help center' to help newbies learn the linux way of doing common tasks. The help center should include both GUI and command line ways of accomplishing these things. The GUI could also link to man pages to give detailed information.

And yes, currently sharing can be accomplished in a very logical way through a GUI as a non-admin user by creating a folder, right clicking and going to Properties -> Permissions. Why is some additional bloat / clutter needed for this?

I think it's much better to make the decision of witch window manager to use in the installer and build a single distribution and a single site that covers for everything.

We should unite Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu into one bigger, stronger and better community, even tho they all are "Ubuntu", it's still a kind of different communities, different parties that should be under one roof.

/This can be read as an trolling or flaming, if you're an sensitive person. Also this was proposed before, but things have changed.../
With advent of Windows 7 and KDE4.2 and Mac OS X out there, Ubuntu with it's Gnome looks like something out of a stone age.
Ubuntu should rethink why it uses the Gnome as it's default desktop. Ubuntu should (sometime in not so distant future maybe when KDE4.5 is released) change from Gnome to KDE4. But leave the gnome as alternative desktop, and if updated from what is now known as Ubuntu just install KDE4 alongside Gnome.

This solution is valid only if Windows 7 shows that Ubuntu was only a temporary haven for those that didn't like or had troubles with Vista.

And rename K/Edu/X all to Ubuntu "DE".
So Kubuntu would be Ubuntu KDE

Gnome: clean and simple desktop environment (recommended by Ubuntu /as it is now the default DE).
KDE4: Powerful and modern desktop environment somewhat similar to Windows 7 or MAC OS X in it's power (recommended for better computers and demanding users)
XFCE: Very lightweight and fast desktop environment that is best for old hardware and speed freaks.

MY proposal is to name the three flapship desktop versions as follows: Ubuntu, Ubuntu Advanced, and Ubuntu Lite. I realize there could be some contention over renaming Kubuntu to Ubuntu Advanced, but my point remains the same. We should still push Gnome as the default - it's friendly, familiar, and has lots of love from outside organizations. Totally cool.

But right now it's not "Gubuntu," it's Ubuntu. The version with KDE should also be Ubuntu, and same for XFCE. We already have Ubuntu Educational Edition, Ubuntu Server Edition, Ubuntu Studio, and Ubuntu JeOS. This is less fragmenting from a marketing perspective, because people will associate them all together. Honestly, I think Ubuntu Media Center (or something less copycat :) would also be a good idea for Mythbuntu. The names are descriptive, and don't imply any sort of schism. This doesn't have to be a difficult change, and the projects themselves don't need to change. Heck, even the packages can stay the same.

Thoughts?

I agree that the names are misleading.

But Ubuntu, Ubuntu Advanced and Ubuntu Lite don't tell the user anything.

So how about:

Ubuntu with Gnome
Ubuntu with KDE
Ubuntu with Xfce

This was suggested in the comments by nadolph, but he didn't include it in a solution, so i thought i would.

This helps remove the idea that Kubuntu is a fork of Ubuntu and such confusions, but still lets the user know that each ubuntu has a different desktop.

"Ubuntu with KDE" doesn't sound as cute as "Kubuntu", but i think it is a more useful name.

First and foremost: A big resounding no to the name-change idea.

The problem is simple: You're not sure how to explain it to friends! That's cool, took me a couple tries until I figured out the best way. Just explain it like this, instead of upheaving the entire identity the *buntu's have built up for years:

Ice Cream. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu - it's all made at the same factory. At some point, they were all vanilla. Sure, one has raspberries, there might be chocolate involved, another has some Oreo in it. Just depends on your tastes.

Keep the names the same. When you explain it to friends, explain it like ice cream. Here's the pitch I give, in almost exact words:

"So you hate Windows Vista? Need to reformat again? Computer lags opening Notepad? Wanna try something new?"

If Windows is detected during install time (which is already done to create the grub menu.lst), then add a "Reboot to Windows" option in the shutdown menu.

While there could be some extenuating circumstances, such as more than one current Windows (or other OS) install, this would cover 95% of typical users.

More advanced techniques could be used to detect multiple windows or other OS installs and also add them to the shutdown menu.

We can do this by creating a compatibility layer for android games and other App, or incorporate some of the android API source code back into Linux.

The momentum behind the LINUX BASED Android is immense. If we can tap into the momentum of the Android developer community we can multiply our software library exponentially!

Mac and Windows both have top notch fully supported development environments. Ubuntu has a few outdated versions of some ide's in the repo's. I know Ubuntu is 'linux for human beings' but without good developer support it's not going to be an attractive target for commercial companies to build software for.

All drivers can be loaded from hard drive(special partition), but on laptops it's not necessary. Part of the platform should be Limo or some think like that, so user can still playing game on Windows. Watch on Wii and looks at the game. It's not require good hardware to just playing. PC gamers can like Linux on motherboard to game. Many developers can create game, which never been released on PC platform. We can quick run normal Linux or Linux app from hard drive on it.

I guess I'm stupid and ignorant posting a solution that brought me nothing but negative votes. But I feel it has to be presented as an option.
LUK incorporates parts of Windows kernel / system so that windows based applications and drivers can easily be installed on Linux.
And no LUK isn't illegal or anything else for that matter.
Pros:
When it reaches a mature level it should support almost any Windows application and drivers...
Wine embeded into kernel (can be a good or a bad thing)

Cons:
By using it you support closed source and continue it's use in software industry (If you care for that, I personally don't)
it has wine incorporated into a kernel, thus it could be understood as bloated
It's heavily supported by Chinese government which is not famous for it's democracy (if you care for such thing)

After intalling ubuntu, a user should get the option to run windows apps on ubuntu. This should launch a wizard which installs wine. It then asks for a windows CD and copy all fonts, dlls, directx, etc into the wine enviroment.

Use a system wide dir for wine. Create a 'Documents and settings' dir per user and map 'My Documents' to the home folder. When installing windows software, ask for a password (gksudo).

Don't display to 'Wine' menu in applications, but show them them same as native applications instead.

Make a service of Wine's known to work list. If you're installing apps that are known not to work, display 'This Windows application will not run on Linux'. If an unknown application is installed, display 'This application might not work correctly', then after install ask the user if it's working correctly and post that to wine.

In this solution I am - in essence - endorsing solution #2, but adding my own comments (two kopeks!) to the mill.

1. Having up-to-date development tools is an absolute MUST if we expect to see **ANYTHING** happening with Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular.

2. "Ubuntu" the development tools. As it is now, the development tools are fragmented into a dozen or so individual packages, in half-a-dozen different places, all with their own private little dependency libraries. . .

Jeez Louise!! It's insanity!!

I am not a hard-core developer, but I do know how to code. And there are things I'd *REALLY* like to see, but the only way they're going to happen is if someone (me) sits down and pounds keyboard to make it happen.

But how?

There's thirty-thousand tools, twenty different "make" processes, more libraries and header files than would fill the Airbus 380. . . I just look at this and get a headache.

As it is now, the development tools are fragmented into a dozen or so individual packages, in half-a-dozen different places, all with their own private little dependency libraries. . . Jeez Louise!! It's insanity!! I am not a hard-core developer, but I do know how to code. And there are things I'd *REALLY* like to see, but the only way they're going to happen is if someone (me) sits down and pounds keyboard to make it happen. But how? There's thirty-thousand tools, twenty different "make" processes, more libraries and header files than would fill the Airbus 380. . . I just look at this and get a headache. If we could - somehow or other - **PACKAGE** the tools within a easily used IDE. (Have any of you used AutoIt? It takes about a dozen different tools and packages them up so they can actually be USED by REAL PEOPLE!) This IDE could use Microsoft's Visual Studio - or the Boreland IDE - as it's prototype. Actually, I like the "Visual Studio" model - you only need ONE IDE, and a bunch of things that plug into it - kind-of-like the way Firefox, etc., work. I would LOVE to work on some of the solutions for Ubuntu - **IF** I could figure out which (or how) to use the damn tools!!! What say ye? Jim

I think linux game makers aren't inspired enough. Maybe Ubuntu GameStore could help them a little ;). Using same ideas that other services have (cheap prices => many buyers => profit). I know that Linux is about freedom etc. but free as in freedom isn't always free (as in prices).

In addition, Ubuntu already has great package management. Could be easy to integrate.

I propose a default framework and IDE for that the game developers could make games for Ubuntu, and other applications.

A framework like mono can reutilize most open source tecnologies for develop new game solutions. Tao Framework is a kit of libraries from mono that can uses open source tecnologies like OpenGL, OpenAl, etc.. And, in the future, may be compatible with XNA.

Really, one of the reasons there aren't any SUPER AWESOME (I mean there are good open-source games), is that there aren't (m)any commercial games. You can't expect the open source community to have 200 people working day and night on a project for free.

And almost no commercial company has ever tried. So one of them, be it EA Games, Activision, Bungee, etc, should step out and make a Linux only game. Who knows, from such a respected company they might gain support from the millions of Linux users worldwide all looking for a good game.

Of course, it would help if Linux had specialized gaming/animation libraries like Windows does (ie DirectX), as otherwise the devs would have to start from scratch.

My idea is something similar to MONO (NET enviroment on linux) but with DirectX - some kind libraries "understading" DirectX functions, which could be included in linux-port of game, so developers wouldn't have to port all DirectX-related code.

For making a game to Linux (I put to, and not ON, because the most important thing is that games to target Linux, no matter if is developed on Mac or on Windows, as anyone will use them), anyone should install: SDL, optionally: GTK/Qt, Python, Mono, a browser embedable component. Any game developer when it targets Linux should have to think to a set of standard features that are part of a (recent and decent up-to-date) Linux. So: install by default this libraries and put them as a part of FreeDesktop. This will make clear for software developers that they will not have to worry about deploying their application (which is one of the hardest part of any application, mostly games).

In my point of view the following packages should be installed by default:
- g++, mono, python and vala by default (even a command line tool like gmcs) as language platforms
- gstreamer/phonon (with gstreamer backend)
- qt 4.5, gtk 2.30 (gtk 3.0)
- sdl and opengl bindings for all platform supported languages, lua for scripting
Being all by default, it will make developers no matter of the platform that they will develop at least to target Linux and to not go to an interminable talk about which distro, which package, which etc. do you have? support questions.

Indie game devs actually often see Linux having the same non-mainstream taste. There are many indie-games available for Linux: World Of Goo, Toribash, Darwinia, Penumbra. Canonical should just offer some support. Make those games available through Canonical or Partner repo and ensure they are working with Ubuntu - just an example.

I think that Canonical should create a "Synaptic Game Manager" much like Synaptic Package Manager. The games would be divided by genre and sorted by popularity or rating(customer satisfaction).

The List of Games will have: a name and icon column, a description column, a price column and a server column. When right clicking an entry, you could choose "Goto Game's Website" or "View More Info"; the later of which would open a window with a more detailed description and some screenshots which would be fetched from a txt file and image files off of the SGM's website. The server column will say where the game is hosted, such as Canonical's free or commercial server, or the name of the Developer(such as Blizzard or rtSoft).

There will be an official Game Submission page on the web where you fill out an entry form for the game.
The free game entry form will consist of: the name, short description, a png(maximum size 32x32), the game's package, and the full description(txt) and the screenshots(jpeg). The files will be hosted on SGM's free game server. The site will be run by volunteers and Canonical employees who will make sure that the submitted info is not faulty, and that the packages work.

For the commercial games, which will not be handled by volunteers but the staff members of Canonical, the entry form will consist of the former, except it will have a price value, and a choice to submit an URL to a PHP page that will accept the credit card info and return the game package if the credit card info is not faulty. If they choose to Use the PHP page option, however, it would be a simple matter to set up a scam(like charging ten times the price or keeping the credit card info to force transactions later), so not being known as a trusted game company and not trusting canonical with a copy of the game would result in suspicious potential customers. On the other hand, if they trust Canonical with the game distribution, they simply must trust Canonical to not say less games were sold than were really sold, and the customers would have no difficulty trusting Canonical. Canonical will, of course, be certain that the developer is who the developer claims to be before adding the game to the repository.

To not make this effort worthless, the Synaptic Game Manager must be easily ported to other distributions of Linux.

A few game templates of simple games would be very useful in order to encourage developers to work in the Ubuntu platform. For instance:

- Spaceship shooting game
- Quiz game
- Platform game
- First person shooting game

These templates could be provided with a really easy way to install the main SDK and it could also be offered an easy way of packing the games and distributing them to others.

Now, many people that would like to develop a game for Ubuntu are discouraged, because starting is a bit difficult (many engines are not easy to install in Linux, there are no specific tutorials for Ubuntu, etc.) and the distribution after the game is made is not easy. Providing an easy-to-use framework would be really helpful.

It is proposed to make a new distributive Ubuntu (proposed code name is GameBuntu) which especially designed for modern 3d games.

Main requirements:

1. Fast
2. Reliable
3. nvidia / ati drivers repository
4. wine implemented to kernel
5. net game interfaces
6. repo with a popular at the moment games patch / distrib
7. minimal user interference for system setup
8. Native kernel DirectX 10.1 support
9. Popular game controllers support

I hope it will be like a trial shot for MS systems.

All comments are welcome ;)

Playdeb is a gaming repository for Ubuntu - aimed to provide titles already available on getdeb.net in an easier to install and update format.

Most famous games in the market "american-mcgees-alice, featured, mass-effect-2, quake-live, starcraft-2, starcraft-ii, top-pc-game-news-stories-february-2009, unreal-tournament-iii-titan-pack, wanted-weapons-of-fate"

None of them are playable in Ubuntu right now , i got this list when i Googled it for "Top ten PC games" , this shows how other OS is dominating in this area .

The approach would be to make equivalent games in Ubuntu ,which are very much similar to them.

As , most of the gaming companies make games to make money , it would hard for us to make the giants to give away there games for free.

Later , we can make a small survey asking people to select top ten games and try to mock the same in Ubuntu , there by increasing the gamer who have switched to Ubuntu satisfied and avoid them to switch over to other OS

I don't really know reason. The solution is to promote simple tool to create games. Cannonical can donate awards for person, who creates the best game using this tool. The best can be included to main Ubuntu distribution. This tool should add "Ubuntu" or "Cannonical" label on game creatings with this tool title screen.

Chicken and egg problem. Sure game development could be made easier but making it profitable is what will attract developers. Right now there just isn't enough market share for game studios to pay attention. The desktop market share is a long hard road so games will come slow if you depend on it. However it appears that people are willing to work with a different OS as long as it is not associated with a PC.

One solution might be to look at getting Linux into the console market. Approach Sony about using Linux on Playstation in such a way that games could easily be ported to if not directly runnable on the Linux desktop. This might run into problems as they could lose sales of PS units but they could always work out licensing so that they make money off the games sold for Linux as well. In fact they could be the same boxed PS games that are advertised to run on Linux as well. It would definitely give them an avenue to fire back at MS and the Xbox platform. I imagine you'd start seeing quite a bit of Linux adoption knowing you can get this OS for free and play PS games on your desktop.

Another possibility would be to look for a company looking to break into the console or handheld market and help them along.

Create Ubuntu Players Group. It will organize meeting for members, allow to promote favorite games, etc. Also Canonical should open web service to putting game saves, additional levels, etc.

Of course, most important think is to create special web page(it must look pretty and showing only interesting information). Most important information on main page will be game awards(members will select favorite game, which are accessible by some shop). We will display one title at center and rest at right side of page(or four categories at center of main page). Page should contain news section, forum, game register form, etc. Each member can allow to show information about games he plays to other members.

In future, Ubuntu Players Group will organize competitions(sponsoring by game makers).

Promoting gaming on Linux is also promoting this platform to game makers!

To achieve better OS gaming on Linux, we need cash. The best way is do some think, what weren't achievement by commercial game market - good connection of movie and game.

Best way to realize this idea is writing good P&C/shooting single player game engine. Because, it would be only P&C/shooting, all data will be stored in files(graphics can be not so far good as in commercial games). Next think will be promote this game(P&C are dying). Once we achievement popularity, we can sell rights to write story line of next part.

The game engine should be innovative, so move will based on game. I have some ideas, but there's no place for this. Entire data of game will be free, so everybody can download and play with new version(only movies of game can not be free). Movie maker can sell whole game(with videos) with movie(or movie with game).

I think that players, that playing in game will watching a movie based on it.

For example if i installed getgo download manager but it didnt worked with firefox in ubuntu. So i have to seperately install firefox for windows to make it work.

Adding wine file support within ubuntu so that applications can intigrate will definately solve many problems.

Its just an idea i dont know if it can be implemented or not
