Overly technical software installation is a huge blocker for most people. This stops people from using privacy-protecting Operating Systems like #Linux.

If we are to get people into #foss products that are better for #privacy, please add "simple installation" to your issues list if you #dev or #market software.

To clarify: our point is that complex software app installs can block people from using a particular OS, because without apps, the OS is useless. Most Linux installs are much easier than the others, thankfully.

This is something that pushes me to recommend manjaro to newcomers. Because it has the AUR and can be enabled from the GUI installer itself. After this one time setup, they can pretty much get all the apps on linux.

Note that manjaro is a bit more stable than arch, so it should be reliable enough for normal use.

This is just my opinion, i know there's a ton of distros to choose from 🤷
