  • A true mainstream Linux distro would need guidelines like this:

    • The user is never be expected to type a command into a terminal.
    • The user is never be expected to edit a configuration file.
    • There is a graphical UI for every possible action the user might want to (or have to) do.

    This especially includes:

    • Configuring audio devices
    • Installing graphics drivers
    • Updating the operating system
    • Managing applications and storage space
    • Connecting to networked storage
    • Adjusting kernel parameters (This is neccessary on certain hardware, yet, barely any distro has a graphical UI for it.)

    The only distro that comes close to this is Linux Mint, but not even Mint covers everything I just mentioned.

    If we want Linux to succeed, there needs to be at least one distro that confidently ships without a terminal.
