Hey, I’ve been checking out Endless OS because of Bringing OSTree to real-world desktops as I’m looking for something stable that I can install for non-technical friends. Also noticed that @ptomato is doing a lot of great work to bring JavaScript updates to Linux (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/tree/master).
Pulling my comment over at https://community.endlessos.com/t/vlc-doesnt-work-how-can-i-fix-it/5941/5?u=jcrben into a thread:
When I came into the forum, I noticed this boilerplate message https://community.endlessos.com/t/uninstall-endless-i-want-to-change-it-to-windows-10-pro/1907/16
People often don’t seem to understand the message in bold, and that’s probably in part because it’s ambiguous and doesn’t explain at all how to send the file.
Also, why should they have to send the file? Why can’t the tool ask if they want to upload the file and ask them to type their forum username, or paste in a link to the thread?
I’ve noticed a few times that users don’t understand, and they post the path to the file. The response is sometimes to repeat the bolded instructions (e.g., https://community.endlessos.com/t/uninstall-endless-i-want-to-change-it-to-windows-10-pro/1907/20), but it would be more helpful to point out with screenshots how they can upload files (or include an email address, or whatever).
Thanks for all the work!
