Even though SuSE with its distro, manuals and OBS-repositories is far more advanced and user friendly, the first step is still too steep.
Besides promoting the live images... When installing SuSE the installer should ask just two questions: 1) Are you an advanced user (default:NO)
Not ebven this question must be asked. All we should offer is a small and not very prominent button labled with 'Expert options'. A native speaker might even offer a better wording.
2) if still in moron-mode, ask to keep any rubbish on the hard disk (default: YES) and it dual boot with windows. And install as much as possible office, games stuff.
Right. And never ask in the default workflow about which window manager to use. Cause a new user doesn't know and care about this.
But this is all to much to understand to our beloved KDE and Gnome fans.
When do we finally manage to keep it simple stupid?
When somebody volunteers to simplify it :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
