RE: From WannaCry to Petya (and why you should use Linux)
Maybe because we have fail to build an easy to use Desktop Linux Distro ... I love the fact that new Debian has 52.000 packages but what does this mens for the regular Desktop user? Nothing at all ... We need to standardize a simple Distro so they can migrate and sell it as a "Free Virus OS"
All a regular desktop user needs is a fairly simple interface that is built on Linux... the "complexities" of Linux could be buried in the background and as such the regular desktop user wouldn't know any different (unless they wanted to install packages).
let's say you are a regular windows users who switch to linux and want to find an easy tool to change the size of a picture any Linux user would say "Just use Pinta" but you can't say to my wife "Go to the shell update the packages and install" and If they uses Synaptic they would find so many programs that will be confused to know what to install ... We need a Distro with a some standardized, easy to use and ready to go software
Yeah I understand completely, the last thing you want is a windows user even seeing the terminal... It would take some time to achieve this though, i'm guessing a kick starter would be a good first step?
