Side idea: include the documentation in the base install!

And then it's easier to point to the relevant bits of the documentation 
post-install...




This is already in the works. :)

Greetings, Qubes community! We are running our first ever survey of
current, former, and future Qubes OS users. We invite you all to lend
us 10-15min of your time, to participate.

https://survey.qubes-os.org/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=791682&lang=en

The Qubes OS team loves the conversations we have with our community
across forums, email lists, in support tickets, and at conferences. As
most of us understand, though, structured data is very different --
and clear information to help us make product and development
decisions in the weeks and months to come, we feel is necessary to
best serve our users.

This survey is also just the beginning of several weeks of user
research work that will consist of interviews, user testing,
co-creation workshop(s) with users guided by a ux specialist, and
possibly more surveys. At the end of this survey, we’ll collect
contact information should participating in that work be of interest
to folks. We also look forward to keeping folks updated in our user
communities, with how all of this work is progressing.

Thanks for this, I have filled it out and volunteered but really really 
really wanted to iterate one big (for me) point, and that is include at 
least some of the things listed in the documentation as an option in the 
setup.


I am no coder and I am 99.999% sure its easier said than done but I see 
quite a few posts (eg setting up VPNs, installing community templates, 
etc) that would be made much easier, and hence less mailing list 
repetition, if they were say included in say a "advance" option during 
the install process, or perhaps an advance settings after setup... like 
adding more "advance" options to the qubes manager? So the user could 
select advance at the beginning and then say be asked "do you want to 
install a sys-usb BUT have it manually enabled" or "do you want to set 
up a VPN proxy" (which will then ask maybe using which templates, and 
then after installation have a command line program that will prompt for 
info to input [eg ovpn info], then generate the vm), or give the option 
of enabling community member packages or templates and installing those 
... like use "centos minimal for proxy VMs"), or selecting i3 or kde for 
a manager, or do you want to enable MAC address randomization, or do you 
want X or Y links/files to be opened up in dvm. The list goes on...


While, again, I am sure this is easier to suggest than to do I also 
think that this would help those like myself who are "techno semi 
competent" (which really means able to get ones self stuck trying to do 
something) while also keeping it relatively simple (by having the above 
be options that would only pop up if say "advanced settings" were 
selected.


I dont mean to diss qubes, i have gotten so much more back than I have 
donated but i really want to see it more broadly adopted and i think 
things like the above could help!


Thanks again to the qubes devs and contributors!
