Hello all

During FOSDEM I had a talk with a couple people about Desktop Painpoints 
and how they would like to use OpenIndiana as their daily driver but a 
couple of things are just not working or toomuch effort.

In a first step to address those I would also like to collect Feedback 
from the community on those Painpoints and collect other Reasons 
OpenIndiana does not work as a main driver even if you want to use it.

What are your Painpoints?

We currently know of
- Missing WebRTC and thus Chatapp(Teams, Google Meet, Jitsi) Support
- Old Wifi stack
- Graphics Card support (AMDGPU and newer Intel)

Please also feel free to drop comments on those listed above. Or list 
which Apps force you to use Windows VM's for Work.

We hope to build a good COntributor base that doesn't mean we will 
address every painpoint. But it should be good enough so that People 
feel compelled to Contribute the last missing piece.

Looking forward to your answers
Till
