Brilliant Brainstorms is a weekly-ish summary of some of the best brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site. In the beginning it may not always come exactly once a week or on the same day, but, if it becomes popular, it should become more regular.

No one likes finding their computer will not boot. When it is impossible to boot your system, you usually don’t care so much what is wrong as how to fix it. That is why having a live CD designed to fix various common issues automatically would be great.

There are tons of cool plugins for Compiz Fusion that add new effects. While I can understand why these plugins are not shipped by default, it would be cool to have them easily installable in the repositories.

One of Linux’s many advantages over other OSs is how easily you can put your home folder its own partition. Unfortunately, this is not yet possible unless you know how to do it yourself.

It’s good that ideas can now be marked as “not an idea,” but if someone accidentally reports a bug to Brainstorm, it should not just be thrown away. Instead it should be sent to Launchpad.

Synchronization is something that not everyone will need, but when you do need it it is nice to have built right into the OS.

I am sure I have talked about this before, but I would really like Ubuntu to put some focus on making sure that from the time you press the power button to the time you log in, everything looks good and there are no black screens of text flashing by.

The current GRUB choices could be confusing, and it would be so simple to change the options to something more logical, so why not?


More publicity for Brainstorm = better. What else is there to say?
