Towards Resolving Bug 1: Microsoft Has A Majority Marketshare -- Presenting A Template As An RFC
Allow me to submit the following document I just completed as part of fixing a friend's XP-HE laptop for give-away to someone else as an informal RFC that may be refined into a tool to help this bug finally get resolved. The new owner will be getting this in hardcopy with the disks it mentions when he picks it up. It is meant to be viewed in a fixed font. If you believe deploying something like it the next time you return a Microsoft system someone has begged you to fix, please, change it as needed and pass it on without attribution--make it as personally composed for the recipient as you can for the best chance of turning on the light within. Some details have been converted into _Template_Fields_ in this version to maintain the confidentiality of the original as well as help you tailor it for your not-quite-ready-for-prime-time sysadmin. Let the ideas for improving it come forth. ** Attachment added: "RFC: Notes To Include After Fixing An MS Computer" https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1/+attachment/2821126/+files/New_Owner_Notes_Template.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Team UGR, which is subscribed to ugr-seeds. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share Status in Club Distro: Confirmed Status in Computer Science Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: New Status in dylan.NET.Reflection: Invalid Status in dylan.NET: Invalid Status in EasyPeasy Overview: Invalid Status in Ichthux - Linux for Christians: Invalid Status in JAK LINUX: Invalid Status in LibreOffice: In Progress Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: In Progress Status in The Linux OS Project: In Progress Status in The Metacity Window Manager: In Progress Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: In Progress Status in Tabuntu: Invalid Status in A simple player to online TV streaming: Invalid Status in Tv-Player: New Status in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team Meta Project: In Progress Status in Ubuntu Gnome Remix Seeds: In Progress Status in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “ubuntu-express” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in The Jaunty Jackalope: Invalid Status in “ubuntu-express” source package in Jaunty: Invalid Status in Arch Linux: New Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Debian: In Progress Status in Fluxbuntu: The Lightweight, Productive, Agile OS: Confirmed Status in openSUSE: In Progress Status in Tilix Linux: New Bug description: Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace. This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
