Feature changed by: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) Feature #314454, revision 7 - Title: A more powerful, intuitive and complete installation process - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + Title: Option to add fingerprints and install closed drivers during + installation + openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) + reject reason: Closed-source drivers cannot be included with + distribution, and YaST fingerprint support was dropped. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Denisart Benjamin (posophe) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Actually, install opensuse is fast and usefull and system is quickly accessible. But some functions should be implement for a logical and complete installation process like include a first fingerprints analysis for being accessible on first boot or a login picture select. A simple question with multiple answers like "What usage of this pc do you think to make ?" for determine if a closed-source driver is needed. At last, a clean-up of none used drivers could be a plus like mandriva. Use Case: I launch yast2 for install opensuse. When it start, I select type of usage of pc: - gaming : closed-source - multimedia : open-source ( In my mind the radeonhd driver is powerfull ) - professional : same as multimedia In a few screens, i create user account and next I scan my fingerprints for don't searching how to do later. And in the next screen I select a picture or take a picture with a webcam ( like ubiquity ) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: More simple for newbies users : Finding how to add fingerprints is not easy for new users and personnaly I like this function ; For closed-source drivers, it's difficult again to know how install a closed source driver because it's needed, ... ; And to conclude, a post-install removal process permit a more clean system Discussion: #1: Simone Ramacci (simosito) (2012-10-15 12:34:36) I think very few people actually use Linux for gaming only, right now. Anyway, for the usecase you proposed I think #308388 (308388) is a far better solution. But a more user-friendly way of choosing software patterns could be interesting. #2: Lukas Krejza (gryffus) (2013-01-02 16:53:12) 4 of my 5 friends i migrated to openSUSE are using linux for games... There is Savage2, Heroes of Newerth, Steam for linux, wine... #3: Denisart Benjamin (posophe) (2013-08-06 14:41:07) It would be great to rebase yast2-firstboot to integrate some very usefull options from Kaptan, which is equivalent of yast2-firstboot in Pardus. It purposes a lot of usage optimisations for users. Please read http://linuxbsdos.com/ask/2011/07/kaptan/ for more. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314454
