A streamlined way to control "systemctl --user ..." without needing root auth.

- Easy OIDC - Generally improve the file manager addon - ncdu-like addon - interface to create simple systemd services - more visibility into which commands you can run to do the same thing

Some more love for the updates page. E.g. select a subset of updates to install, be more clear that the last update time could be different if you installed updates via CLI, that kind of thing.

I would love to resize drives/partitions on Linux machines without it feeling like open heart surgery, in a place I already have handy for generally poking around those machines.

from a company (RHEL users) POV: EntraID support -- we're using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/howto-vm-sign-in-azure-ad-linux https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/how... for SSH at the moment (not really happy with it but I don't have a better alternate) -- and that does not work for cockpit. So another way to authenticate against entra would be nice for corporate users

A `cockpit doctor` style command that extra plugins like cockpit machines can extend. I've found that Cockpit Machines is really unreliable on Debian and it's nothing really to do with Cockpit - it's things like dbus settings that break Cockpit. eg, having to add this to make it reliable on my Debian Trixie install: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <limit name="max_match_rules_per_connection">4096</limit> </busconfig> It would be fantastic if Cockpit could spot known issues like this and warn the user/administrator.

1. Make it really easy to set up OAuth 2. Make it work on Ubuntu seamlessly (eg. fix these kind of issues - https://cockpit-project.org/faq.html#error-message-about-being-offline https://cockpit-project.org/faq.html#error-message-about-bei...) 3. Have it work behind a web server way more easily. This should be a straightforward configuration option error installing.
