There are tools, but they are not user friendly enough, and I also struggle sometimes. It's the OS pushing that behavior, not the user choosing it deliberately. People eventually start doing everything as root and then they are laughed at for "not being secure". I don't know how to best emphasize on this: as a desktop user, I simply loathe having to open terminal and drop to root 50 times a day, when whatever I have to do should involve a right-click and picking a menu entry or a couple checkmarks selected in a configuration GUI window. The above are off the top of my head and represent just a little part of my overall "user-inducing frustration" that pretty much every Desktop Linux flavor thrown at me so far. Many times I copied a file or downloaded a file and I had no idea where it was, searching for it yielded no results but manually browsing around eventually found it. * Make it easy to search for files and folders. * Enable "Win" key functionality and try to replicate as many "Win"+key commands to make former Windows-based power users feel at home (Win+R, Win+Arrows). * Make it absurdly easy to mount an ISO or browse a network/network share.
A Text editor named "Kate"? A streaming application called "XBMC"? A music placer called "Clementine", "Banshee" or "Amarok"? Please.
* While you're at it, give the applications proper names. * App store for my favorite flavor, where I could sort by features, not by category download and install updates in the background then let me know I need to restart (if that's the case), much like Android does * I want my updates to install as seamlessly as possible, e.g. * When I double-click on an "executable" I want it to execute, not open it in whatever equivalent of Notepad there is * Invariably having to drop to terminal to do this and that * No GUI for a lot of small-thing configuration activities
