Senator Adam Schiff: “If you’re wondering why Trump doesn’t care about our economy or lowering costs, it’s because his personal economy is doing just fine. He’s making money, and so are the billionaires around him.”
Exactly. Let’s follow the money. Demand accountability.

- Better energy and hibernation management. Fans running all the time are not cool.
- A detailed permission system for apps, like Android does or better.
- Run seamlessly Android apps. Waydroid is cool, but it is not seamless enough.
- True convergence, so I can run it in my phone and when I connect to a mouse, keyboard and display I have a full desktop experience.
Sorry, I couldn't pick only one 😉

I'll clarify here because I know how people are on here and I already know I will get attacked for saying this. It's not a necessity at all, I am very much aware of this.
For me, it's more of a matter of having the *possibility* to have my OS work nice with everything my hardware is capable of, even if I don't want to enable it.

significant time storing documents.
I dream of the alternative to standard mouse and keyboard inputs by voice commands, such as: “Save this document in ‘Documents/Personal/Taxes’ with the filename ‘Tax declaration 2025.odt’.”
Better, a voice command as simple as: "Rename this LibreOffice document to 'Tax declaration 2025.odt and store it in folder 'Taxes'." with a warning if the destination isn't clear.

Or at least sodtware that is not free. I will gladly pay for a polished, well-made app.
We can't rely on "the best app ever on Linux"......in version 0.3.1 that looks like something from the Windows XP era. Sorry to say 🙂
