There are a lot of "john do's" that are not really happy with "what the dealer gives him" but don't know what else to do. I went through that back in 2000. I had heard of something called Linux out there somewhere so I started asking questions. It took me a bit to get some good advice and make the leap of faith. There are a lot like I was back then but if they go to the website thinking about trying Linux they get turned off thinking it is only for devs and such.
may be not The problem is two folds. * on most computers, installing Linux goes pretty well, but pretty well only, not fully as it could if installed by the computer builder, so there is need of help. I see this every second saturday on my Linux User group meeting (I'm the install/fix specialist) * that said it goes really pretty well, so most people that try linux do this by themselves and never ask. It looks like nobody should ask, and if something fail, the user reverts to Windows. Truth is Windows XP and Windows 7 where usable. May be the better curve of Leap was not because of leap but because of Windows 8, then Windows 10. The way Windows do the updates (please do not stop the computer {wait for hours} - wait for hours at next start) is our best chance. The real stupid thing all Linux distro did is competing each other, dropping the Linux word when everybody begun to know it. In France the only Linux that has a known name is Ubuntu, certainly not Debian, nor Red Hat, no more Mandriva nor Mint and nor openSUSE - not on John Doe mind. Of course seasoned computerists know them... jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
