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
As a Gnome user, a expansion of that background apps think that properly replaces Appindicators!
Actual proper touch support, which includes a decent built-in keyboard (looking at you KDE...).
I love 2-in-1's, but I do wish touch support would go all the way. It's like... 70-80% there, with Gnome having a good keyboard and KDE having the better touch support overall. But it just needs to go the final stretch to make it a good experience.

Wayland being a true improvement over X, with things like Barrier working and having a true session lock instead of just drawing over everything.
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 :)
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.

Working Screensharing from first boot lmao
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.

All the Wayland stuff related to gaming in GNOME.
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.

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

Ability to run Android apps.
Well this isn't a DE thing but I would like good ray tracing and the new frame gen support for my AMD GPU.
Configurable touchpad gestures on Plasma. And a non-nonsense gesture to open the overview effect (waiting for Plasma 6, already done :)
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
The ability to easily resize scrollbars, KDE.
We had them right for so long.
Trackpad gestures, KDE (like 3 finger swipes customisation). THEM TO STOP MOVING AROUND THE SETTINGS.

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.
