How lovely!
Seriously we have a gathering of geeks here coming from the various angles of geekdom. Lots of good advice to benefit from.
I just write the code that makes computers do stuff. I can work under their hoods. I've taught how to use them and done tech support. One thing I know is that no one knows everything. It's too big a topic. Team effort all the way.
See? I'm a benevolent queen.
I sure would. The one thing that's held Linux back from wider adoption is that installing it is tricky for the average user. It's much much better than in the past. I'd love to see them keep growing and making it easier.
Your code can be light years ahead of anyone else's. Better stability, performance and security. But if install and update isn't completely automatic, only geeks will love it and use it. #1 rule of GUI (Graphical User Interface) -> Don't Make Me Think.
I've gotten really tired of the cycle of buying/building faster, better hardware only to have the same slow performance thanks to bloated, inefficient software.
