Welcome to openSUSE Mohammad,

I hope that you letter is begin of your participation in a project. 

I prepared more detailed answer to your mail, but there is no much sense to 
repeat procedure of showing that for the same basic specification that 
enables one to use Internet safely, Linux is installed in 40 minutes, and 
windows in more than 3 hours. I have that exercise from time to time so, it 
is experience, not a theoretical number, and when comes to applications that 
I have interest in, than 3 hours stretch to few days. 

"Just works", "user friendly" and similar, are in PC world sales slogans, not 
real properties, and without defining conditions of validity they have no 
meaning. The closest to "just works" is Apple, but it is one vendor for 
hardware and software, but it has one catch, if you can afford it. Last time 
I considered that option, what was affordable, was inferior in technical 
respect. Hicups in graphics when disk is accessed I can buy for much lesser 
money, besides I would not buy it. 

Apropos your main point, the user experience. 
Guys in this group are aware of problems, but you can solve only that much 
with existing resources, and they do so. More hands and heads would be better 
and for sure it would accelerate development to "just works".
