OSNews, Generic OSes It's time for another "OSNews asks" item. This time, I want to focus on something that I've been wanting to talk about with you all before, but never found the time for. The question is simple: which feature(s) from other operating systems would you like to see in your own main operating system?

For Linux: I agree completely (except for Qt4, which is extremely sluggish on my Linux PC, too).

The lack of GUI speed is the most serious issue for me. Basically, it makes my 2.4 GHz PC look like a 20-year-old 386-era machine with Windows. Graphics rendering in Windows with no hardware acceleration is much faster than accelerated Linux graphics.

Plus my desktop is getting increasingly unstable with all the heavy changes in graphics drivers and other things. I've never had so many lockdowns that I have now with the latest and greatest X.org and other technologies.
