Hi there, I made a post in general chat about this very thing. If you are willing to talk me thru some things I would be happy to make video tutorials that should be able to get noobs like me up to speed rather quickly. I am considering doing it myself but the problem is that in learning how to fix my problems thru the provided documentation I am going to lose the noobyness that will allow me to make tutorials that will be plain and clear to noobs. I have watched the tutorials available online and they all sound like they are talking in french to regular users like me. I have litterally spent hours unpacking a single sentence only to discover that I did not need to know any of it really other than to understand how to something that ultimately took five minutes to get working once i cut thru the jargon and information only useful to someone that wants to play around in the terminal for fun.
But I do plan on making a tutorial for the things I have figured out that other noobs will probably give up when facing. For example the time it took me to sort out the partitioning of my drive to install the qubes was difficult due to me not being a linux user when all I really needed to know took five minutes once I knew what I was looking for. A noob could look for information for awhile before discovering that the qubes installer is basically the same as other well documented distros. The videos on cubes assume they are speaking to distro hoppers that already know all about linux when in reality the noobs like me look at the partitioning phase and think holy crap this looks complicated and feels like one wrong move could destroy my drives. I now can explain how to safely partition in less than a minute haha.
But yea What I really need is someone that can tell me what I am looking for, like what piece of the puzzle is where I should start to solve X problem that people are use to windows just doing for them.
But I agree with what you are saying, we should not want to live in a world in which some whistle blowers need to be computer scientists to feel comfortable enough to survive long enough to even blow the whistle. I personally have information I want to get into the right hands but cant even begin looking for the people that can use the info until I can be confident it will not be discovered and covered up because it easily could be covered up. Tails is easy to use but is not an efficient means to do the needed research one needs to do to find the people that the courage and the reach to use certain information. Well sorry for the wall of text and here is the post I made if you want to read another one.
