The one thing all Linux distros still fall (very) short on is hardware compatibility i.e. printers and scanners. I still get told to buy the hardware to suit the OS, which is very limiting.
I'd like to see Ubuntu become seen as "Linux" and to see all the major hardware companies support it. Alongside the usual "supports Windows and Mac" stickers, I'd like to see something like "works with Ubuntu" stickers on all printers scanners etc.
Personally I don't use Ubuntu (can't get it to install on laptop), however I use Freespire, which is based on Ubuntu. I think aything that benefits Ubuntu will benefit the whole of Linux.
