-HDR support system-wide
-Autohide top bar (why? OLED burnin)
-Improved nvidia drivers from RPM (if you don’t install them manually they still suck)
-GPU Usage/temp is a must.
-Login doesn’t respect the HZ/FPS that the monitor has, seems locked to 60FPS and has mouse accel (which always sucks)
-Nvidia RTX HDR and RTX upscale ON/OFF switches
-Startup speed should get improved.

-Shop needs some fixings. Some repos don’t work, like nvidia’s driver. Or other 3rd party apps.
-Easier ways to hide/minimize windows (not everyone wants to hide their stuff with Windows-H

I know some things are well known already, but there’s always a need to remind obvious things sometimes.

As Marko already said, most things you mention are not related to Fedora but to upstream projects. Also, you refer to many different projects, partly even proprietary software (nvidia).

If you have a feature request, please identify the very project and get in touch with them.

Also, all Fedora repos work fine atm. There is no reported issue that repos don’t work (I just did updates myself), and there are a lot of users using it every day. I assume you refer to some third party repos that do not belong to Fedora. You have to get in touch with the providers of these repos to tackle that issue.

The reason why we have no repos enabled by default that contain nvidia’s driver is not that we forgot but because there are legal restrictions. Also, we cannot guarantee the stability of nvidia’s drivers the way we can ensure it for the software in our official repos: the “origin” issue is that it is proprietary. We would be happy if nvidia starts to contribute their drivers to the kernel and thus start using a corresponding way of licensing, so that these drivers also pass the whole “massive review & testing” from the kernel communities up to Fedora. But that is not our decision.

You might consider to contribute to the related projects to fix the issues you refer to. Keep in mind that you get all that software for free.

Since this topic consolidates several different issues and since most of them do not relate to Fedora, I close this.
