Cayce, Thank you for keeping some honesty in expectations. and reminding us what an excellent effort has been made by developers.
I have said it before, I think our Developers have made some great decisions in regarding where to stop integrating more programs to focus on keeping Qubes Trustworthy, while not going off to create ‘bells and whistles,’ which increase complexity for them to keep track of.
Thank you developers.
I will not profit, financially in any way for this suggestion. I do find it interesting, I am in USA, and it is so USA type to think about how money might play into the future of Qubes.
Documentation does fall off when implementing some third party programs.
Creating an alternate ISO with pre-installed third party programs, ready to work. and keeping in mind to only choose third party software from the more trustworthy, preferably FOSS software, is more safe than someone, technically inexperienced, randomly searching the internet for something that does this or that.
Cayce you should keep close watch and tell us when we are getting off course, it is easy to get off course, overly enamored on making the thing less secure, rather than more usable.
Again, thanks to the Developers, I think you have made good decisions as to what to include in the Qubes OS, and what to leave out.
