My Linux Dreams 2008

As a reminder, please submit your Linux dream.

Today I wanted to share my top five dreams for 2008. Once again, if you didn’t read the original post (see above), these are not supposed to be realistic, just dreams for the future of Linux.

  1. Better artwork in Ubuntu and other distributions. Artwork may not be the most important thing in a distribution, but it definitly makes an impression and contributes to your experience using your computer.
  2. More solid options for computers pre-installed with Linux. We already have Dell, System76, and ZaReason, but more would be even better. Ideally, every major OEM would sell machines with Linux.
  3. Perfect WINE support for Windows applications. I would love to be able to install and use any piece of Windows software easily. This would also be great for users migrating to Linux.
  4. Stabler, less buggy Linux. Linux is already very stable and generally works quite well, but when something does mess up, it is very annoying. I would love to see a bug-free Linux.
  5. More mainstream attention to Linux. Linux already gets a little attention in the mainstream media, both tech and non-tech, but it would nice to see it covered just as much as Windows or OS X.

Those are just my dreams for the coming year. You can submit yours here.
