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.)

    I have given up on sleep long ago. Why don’t you just hibernate? With ssds the boot is really quick.

    Edit: I got frustrated with ACPI and uefi issues on my laptops. I wish we had open source uefis for most laptops.

      I thought sleep would be good, but I think you’re right. At this point I might just give up on sleep.

      Unfortunately, that means repartitioning my drive as I don’t have swap at all (64GB RAM) 😢

        Usually swap can be quite a bit smaller than RAM it might still work.

        Edit: You might want to check out lvm if you do repartition. Also many filesystems support swap files on them.
