| FLAVOR: Ubuntu Gnome Desktop HEADLINE: Have first class support for hibernate
DESCRIPTION: There are a few problems i noticed with hibernate
- During installation you don't get notified that you need a swap partition of the size of your ram if you want to hibernate (moving partitions around is a PITA)
- There is no menu to set close lid to hibernate, the go to option seems to be edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and if that doesn't work the internet has various other solutions that might work
- During upgrade form 15.10 to 16.04 this broke and i never got the hibernate functionality to work again HEADLINE: Improve battery life
DESCRIPTION: The difference with windows is SIGNIFICANT. Watch the barchart at [1] HEADLINE: Fix tracker-store and tracker-miner-fs eating CPU.
DESCRIPTION: Seems that this is also a quite common issue [2], why doesn't this just work out of the box? HEADLINE: Help support some 3rd parties get their software packaged and put in the distro.
DESCRIPTION: I haven't been able to use f.lux and i think a small utility like that would enhance the overal desktop experience, so would be nice if ubuntu team supports this a little bit. (The alternative apps which should do the same didn't work for me). The point is that the OS should offer at least 1 package that just works. Now this seems to be only done with packages that are like "gnome official", where 3rd party packages sometimes fill a gap. HEADLINE: Inventing a new desktop experience is great, but keep the options that people are used to.
DESCRIPTION: I do really appreciate the thought that went into designing a new desktop experience. But please don't force it onto the user if it has not been "proven" yet. The user should have an option to go back to the old way of doing things. After some years if the % that uses the old option is very small it can be removed from the standard distribution. I think there should be more policy on this. The policy should also focus on what features people really want. For example i had to install another terminal (Terminator) just to be able to rename tabs, it was not possible or i didn't know how to do it in Gnome Terminal. It just seems that the dev team is a bit out of touch with the users need. Also this story [3] [1] https://tweakers.net/reviews/4859/3/accuduur-bij-laptops-de-...
