NVK drivers for nvidia GPUs

More nixOS development. It's the reproducible builds on the OS scale, one configuration file that will always generate exactly the same system when run, and you can update and rebuild from that file without restarting the system in most cases. This should make triangulating and fixing distro issues much easier, as well as making a distro easier to maintain from the user side.

• I don't realistically expect to see any progress here but video hardware acceleration gaining first-class support in popular applications would be a nice dream. The one area Linux is complacent to be "inefficient".
• One of the KDE devs has been working on some magic that might keep application state even after the desktop crashes.
• Chimera Linux.

Wayland on Plasma (sure, it works but still work in progress)
Lapce (like vscode but native)
Proper keyboard and screen sharing for Wayland

Helix editor, especially plugin system

• bcachefs
• the EEVDF scheduler

I'd love to see more work on Nvidia for wayland

Oculus on Linux, but thats a slow project

Lapce

Bcachefs getting merged in the kernel

• System76 Virgo
• CosmicDE
• Wayland in general

A Synergy/Barrier/Input-Leap for Wayland

Polonium - autotiling for KDE 5.27. Ever since KDE Plasma broke Bismuth on wayland, i've been running with bare Plasma. Polonium is the first project to work (mostly) as Bismuth used to, although it's just one developer working on it as far as i understood and it still has a bunch of bugs. But really looks promising.

Also, KDE 6 (which will break everything again probably) :D

VSCodium has a Wayland version already. On firefox, you have to enable it if it doesn't do it by default.

The rest are the same with yours but add wayland allow tearing support for better latency in videogames.

Pretty niche, but:

Allows me to interface a PC to a canbus in an efficient manner. I wrote an autopilot in perl using that, but I would like to see the project mature to the point where it is stable enough for production environments.

Apart from what's already been mentioned, I'm eager to test Spacedrive

• Rpm-ostree: more robust apply-live updates; local rpm package upgrades without needing to remove previous versions first
• Thunderbird/K-9 Mail: continued work on modernizing the UI and features of both desktop and mobile versions
• GNOME: smoother animations and increased performance for low-end GPUs and IGPs (triple buffering implementation, etc.)
• Firefox Mobile: site isolation

Mundane stuff for the most part.

1. New releases for Alpine and Void.
2. Newer packages being added to Void.
3. Hoping for a Black Friday sale at Racknerd.
4. Bug fixes to Node-Red.
5. Flexible scaling of storage in ZFS.

Winlator. Being able to run Windows games via kISS is gonna make sbcs much more usable.

New season of One Punch Man

Chimera Linux!
