Hey guys, I'm just an ordinary dev looking for something to work on. While messing around with my hobby projects, I couldn't help but notice that under the surface, there are a lot of places that the libre desktop can be improved. I'd like to take on your suggestions on what I should seriously consider working on and helping out with.

Thanks for any comments and suggestions.

(For those wondering, I'm still working on my other stuff.)

Every problem I have stems from Nvidia. I can't complain too much because it was a Christmas present from my friend and it's a really good card but damn Nvidia drivers.

The one thing keeping my friend from switching even tho he wants to is vst plugins for his DAW. He uses both Ableton and Bitwig and Bitwig works on Linux but the plugins can be Windows only. There are projects to make them work but it turns into a mess to manage it all.

Depends on the specific plugin. I've been doing music production on Linux for several years now. Back then things looked a lot worse than now. Most popular bridge solution for Windows plugins on Linux is yabridge atm. The README is well worth a closer read, cause it will answer many questions on how to get even more modern plugins to display correctly (i.e. JUCE based ones).

Ye he was using yabridge but once again it becomes a mess to maintain and he just wants to make music
