The expressions on their faces when they see how many ridiculous hoops I need to jump through to configure the Packman repository and then replace the codecs changes to exasperation
You mean go to a website like opensuse-community.org or opensuse-guide.org, click on a codec 1-click, then click next a couple of times, accept vendor change. Done. Or copy/paste a couple of zypper commands.
I've been a SUSE/openSUSE user for 11 years and didn't know that the codec 1-click existed. That would be easy -- but how about actually making it easily available to the user?
The 1-click is actually not that easy, people need to trust and import keys for a couple of repos and allow vendor change in the "scary" conflict dialog - which is more than enough to throw a lot of people off :-( I just don't have any good ideas for how to make it significantly easier. But it's clearly an issue, distros like Linux Mint and PCLinuxOS have considerable followings more or less based on including codecs and nothing else. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
