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.

GNOME:

support tags in all applications and have combined search for them (e.g. let me tag e-mails and files, and when I search for my tag the tagged emails and files show up) (AFAIK GNOME developers already said, this will never come, because it would confuse GNOME users. Apple and Apple users have this feature for years now.)
Bring back F3 dual pane views in the file manager, having two windows side by side is not equivalent
Integrate and polish dash to dock or dash to panel, I don't care which one just make it work perfectly OOTB.

bspwm - i do miss alt-tab from time to time.

I know there is a few sxkhd entries that sort of mimics it, but I miss something like gnome or cinnamon alt-tab

Custom per-folder themes in Nemo with drag/drop templating like os/2 had. Extend to all apps, actually.

A linux vpn gui that connects to a universal api for all vpns that reports load and location to allow automatic switching for fastest VPN speeds all the times. Possibly with the ability to multiplex the packets to two or more VPN providers for better obfuscation. And with a nice GUI that has presets for popular vpns

In Gnome: Proper calDav integration in the gnome "online accounts" section. Smaller titlebars. Nothing else please. No dock, dash or whatever, no stupid clutter, just nice and simple like it is currently.

In DWM: Nothing needs to change, use the default setup every day on my laptop.
