Slackware: nothing, it's perfect just the way it is.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish arch had proper printing support, I've never ever been able to get it to work no matter how much I RTFM. I think it should be something you choose at install or that you could set up in an automated fashion.
I really haven't given nix the language the time it deserves, but I really want nixosr configuration bindings in Python. Yes it makes me want to vomit but I do kind of live and breathe Python these days. Maybe a python nix generator would be more appropriate, either way it would totally destroy the benefits of using nix
Linux Mint: Add a GUI utility for making Nemo Actions, it's such a useful thing to be able to do. I might just write a little applet myself in Python.
Also, get rid of as much Gnome UX as possible. Get your empty sandwich menus, buttons crammed into the top bar and lack of functionality the fuck out of my computer and put it in the septic tank with the rest of the putrid assgarbage.
Garuda. I wish the base install of wine actually worked, and that half the packages in chaotic-aur weren't buggy as fuck or just completely non functional.
Kubuntu
Remove snap < caused loads of shit back in the day, now it's an extremely slow installation system that wants to force me to use it. Fuck you.
Remove systemd < promised to be a super fast init system, took over loads of shit it has nothing to do with and ended up being nothing faster at all. Now my logs are sometimes in actual log files, you know, easy text, sometimes they're in the headache callled journalctl. I always change my SSH server port (Ubuntu server) that was a quick config file change and restart ssh, now it's making systemd files, and 10 minutes to do. Its a constant headache and I fucking hate everything about it
EndeavourOS:
- Install portals along with Flatpak, depending on DE (+ GTK, always)
- btrfs + assistant, snapper, snap-pac as default (ideally also bootable snapshots)
- Provide not only printer, but also scanner support
- Enable pstate driver for AMD CPUs by default
- 1-click solution to enable recommended tweaks for gaming / interactive use
- On KDE desktop:
- Add dbus service to start Kwallet
- Configure Kwallet to require no password, but confirmation for access
- Ship with Discover
Arch install script could be better. The dedicated /home partition is a pain if you don't know what you're doing (I don't know what I'm doing). The encryption thing also breaks a lot of things.
What's the problem with dedicated home?
If you don't partition correctly and don't allocate enough storage for /home and your root for usr/share, you might run out of space quickly. I put like most of of my storage in /home and soon enough I ran out of space as I was downloading heavier files from the aur. Completely ran out of space on the usr/share partition.
I would change the name to drugs.
I use drugs btw.
Debian Retro Universal Gaming System
Someone make that a thing.
There's retroPie, based on Raspberry Pi OS Lite, which is in turn based on Debian. There ya go.
Edit: never mind, I just learned retroPie is actually just an application, not a full OS
I would get rid of snaps.
You just inadvertently triggered a lot of Scandinavians
As someone who's an active user and contributor to Fedora: words cannot express enough how much I hate US laws.
It's the reason we can't ship with H.264 hardware decoding out of the box, it's the reason why we can't provide access to our project and our community to sanctioned countries (Cuba being one that really hurts me, but mainly Iran right now, which makes me really sad because I'm having to answer people from Iran almost weekly asking on how they can be a part of the project with "unfortunately you can't").
I dream of a day where Fedora's trademark changed to the hands of a non-profit foundation outside of the US.
Do other distributions like Debian, Alpine, or Arch also have this issue?
I believe some other distros have this issue, but I'm not sure about specific ones. US laws are pretty complicated by themselves, even more when you try to understand how it affects projects from other countries that are trying to be available on US.
I'd like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.
This sounds a lot like Luet which is used in Moccacino (formerly Sabayon).
This does sound cool.
