I don't really know if this is the right place to talk about this, but here
goes.
I recently installed Trisquel, first on my machine, then on my better-halfs
laptop.
I was impressed with how everything works, even the touch-screen. (it is a
asus-s200e wich sadly comes preinstalled with Windows 8)
I gladly handed over the laptop after setup...
Alas, she has some strange user patterns,
* first of all she right click everything, (also in MS Windows), using the
context menu as main navigation... I had to (again) inform here that right
clicking is the way to go...
* Then she wanted to change the background, and she right clicked the
desktop, selected 'change background', and was greeted with the 'background'
screen. I was actually surprised that it was so easy at this point, but the
next thing she did was click 'all settings' (Notice, I am freely translating
the menu points since I am running a Danish setup) and asked where the images
where. I told her to select the background again, and after some strugling
she came to the background screen. Now the thing is, on the backogrund
screen, you only see two large images, 'one' saying background, and the other
saying 'lock screen' now to me it is clear that it is buttons, but even after
statin that it was buttons, it didn't help, she was actually just staring at
that screen... I then clicked the background button and it showed some
avaliable images and she was happy...
Long story short; a text above the two images would certanly have made it
simpler for her to change that background. Text suggestiong 'Select wheter
you wan't to change the 'desktop background' or the 'lock screen' background,
making it possible also to click the text 'desktop background' and 'lock
screen'
what are your take in this?
oh, another interesting fact was that she tried to find the shutdown by doing
that windows 8 gesture from the side of the screen to bring in whatever they
call that thing... but she was glad to find it was in the lower right 'start
menu' anyway :)
