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.

Well to wayland work with nvidia
Still waiting for a DE that's looks and acts like i3/sway but takes care of everything under the hood like monitor config, shortcuts for brightness, volume etc. Essentially everything Gnome or KDE does.

Configurable touchpad gestures on Plasma. And a non-nonsense gesture to open the overview effect (waiting for Plasma 6, already done :)
Dunno, KDE Plasma has it all. I would not mind some design improvements, but that is what Plasma 6 will bring. I just need to wait :)
All the Wayland stuff related to gaming in GNOME.
Well this isn't a DE thing but I would like good ray tracing and the new frame gen support for my AMD GPU.
Working Screensharing from first boot lmao
Better trackpad support on KDE on Wayland. I use multi-finger gestures all the time on my MacBook, and my System76 laptop supports them on Windows, but the only gesture that works on Linux is two-finger scrolling.

Tabbed windows like Haiku has. I love that feature so much but I've only ever seen it on tiling WMs on Linux

As a new linux user, I would like KDE to fix their trackpad gestures because they suck. Please copy Windows or macOS. And I want fractional scaling in GNOME without everything looking blurry.

I'm just mostly waiting for Plasma 6 so I can use all the Wayland goodies it comes with.
Another thing I'm looking forward to is Wine-Wayland to be ready.
- wayland on xfce & cinnamon
- not exactly DE, but wayland greeter on sddm
Just install it and not have to care about anything system related. Just keep out of my way and let me do what I need to do. Linux, Windows, MacOS, the operating system should not be an end, but a mean.
If you need to update, just do it and don't bother me. I plug something, just show it to me. Something is proprietary? I don't care, just want it to work...

Kinda hard when noone can make it work or even know how it works besides creators of that propietary program.

Ability to pin applications to the taskbar depending on which virtual desktop/workspace you are in. For example, I'd like a coding desktop that just has an ide, browser, and terminal.

Ability to run Android apps.
Better support for gaming laptops with both igpu and dedicated gpus like in windows so that I can stop having to reboot when I want to go from portable mode to gaming mode

Working and well-integrated "run this on that rendering GPU", with unused GPUs being switched off (laptop use case).
The ability to easily resize scrollbars, KDE.
We had them right for so long.
