    1. Idiot proofing
    2. Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
    3. Idiot proofing
    4. Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
    5. Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people

    I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.

    Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I’m sure everyone knows by now.

    Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That’s for a reason.







  • Ah yes, free trade, the thing that improved the economies of ex-communist countries after the USSRs collapse and is on the path to fixing almost every African nations poverty.

    Ah yes, NATO, the “we will only call for (and maybe possibly do something to enforce) human rights if it’s convenient for us” alliance. And I’m sure all it’s member nations have squeaky clean track records when it comes to international politics.

    We must ban anyone against these things! That’s dangerous extremist ideology


  • The US president being so important was always weird to me.

    Until I learned that compared to my countries president, he has a bunch of actual official powers and gets to appoint the USs version of the ministers. Why the hell does one person have the power to veto laws and appoint the top executives of the laws that pass and issue vaguely defined executive orders that can seemingly overwrite any laws that still got through in a pinch. The only thing stopping the US president from just straight up overthrowing the legislature and ruling by decree is the fact that the Senators might get angry due to being out of a job and complain to the supreme court… one that the president nominates the members of.






  • Windows update would always start doing stuff whenever I turned on my PC and would slow it down to a laggy crawl until it finished. This increased the pressing the power button to doing what I need to do time to 15 minutes.

    I knew that Linux updates worked differently so I tried it out. And I was right. Oh so right
