Re: [Trisquel-users] Cognitive ease and free software

Personally, I think that if you make the commitment to change your operating  
system, you will commit to the change, adapt to it and want to learn new and  
different things. I think, also, that for a beginner (I will write the Wiki  
for newbies, if you would like to help you are welcome, I am just researching  
terms and the correct wording and so on since I am a week old user) you need  
to have a "how to Trisquel GNU/Linux for dummies". Not all of us come from  
Ubuntu or know what previous Linux Distros offered. It is hard to go from  
"one click away" to suddenly command-lining most of the things. For me this  
is awesome, because my friend offered to help me install and I let him, but I  
was always one step in front, following my own head, figuring it out.

I think in a society of user friendly but caging software and operating  
systems, you need to break free, and break free of the mindset of everything  
is just a "click away", everything is not easy. If you wanted everything to  
be user friendly and easy accessible and you did not want to break free, then  
you would have never changed to Libre Software. Thus take a little time, play  
with your new operating system, have fun!
