That's where we can improve things most for everyone.
But drivers need to be compatible with everything and hardware needs to also be compatible with everything, there is no progress.
To really change things we should design hardware (disks and monitors) that have drivers that only work with them.
But in the meantime having simple database like functionallity in the filesystem, like being able to list files 100-200 in alpabetical order f.ex without wasting CPU/memory would be interesting (today you need to use multiple commands that list the whole directory)!
Also looking at directory compression that does not require you to uncompress the whole directory to get a small subset of files.
