Flavor: Ubuntu Desktop
Headline: UX for Moms/Dads
I've been using Ubuntu Desktop for over 5 years and Linux for more than 15 years. I keep on changing distros, but Ubuntu is my first choice.
Role: Web developer
Please make it easier for Moms/Dads to use Ubuntu. My parents (both above 60) use Ubuntu and they love it. But I can feel their frustration sometimes when they need to do more. They mostly use Firefox (YouTube, Facebook) etc. so its fine. But when they need some more power usage, like transferring photos from camera they are stuck. Using a webcam, no way.
Upgrading software, yikes!
I seriously believe Ubuntu Desktop is doing a fantastic job of making sure Linux rules the desktop. If not now, it will soon. I'm sorry I can't provide any substantial issues, but I hope the UX team at Ubuntu can do a good job.
All the best!

- dustinkirkland 10y agoI'm personally very happy to have your feedback here. My parents, too, use Ubuntu :-) They love it, and I love that I can fix their computer for them. Thanks for the feedback and I'll take it to heart.
