Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel's road to the mainstream success

[john_harvey]

If you are talking about general public distribution, out-of-the-box  
usability for the computer illiterate is probably a must.  I'm linux neophyte  
and want to use Trisquel for ideological reasons, but also because for the  
most part it is a great, easy to use distro. That said, I have struggled at  
times, and if I hadn't had the time to educate myself even a little, or had  
some great support here at the forums, I would have been likely to not use  
Trisquel. And example is the graphical updater, which doesn't work  
apparently. That is bad. In no way could I have been able to investigate  
alternatives and learn the Terminal commands to install updates on my own.  
Luckily I had the time and inclination to get help. This is just my  
experience of course. Maybe the new generations will have a basic knowledge  
of key and terminal commands. But I'm not so sure.

Hope that helps.
Love Trisquel and want it to grow.
