Hey guys!
Sure the PC is a tool, but unlike hammers, and others it has so many uses, and the tasks can be done on many ways...so it requieres training.
Try to use and scientific calculator without reading the manual and you can figure out this!
All that every techie wants its that every PC owner take it responsability qoute and learn the basics of their computer. After that it will be easier for both parts (user techie) interact and make a better product.
Documentation is a problem on comercial and FOSS products, the diference is that first can be force because you pay and the second must be done as somebody have time. But the trend on this is to make more timelined and complete/clearer documentation on both.
If you see the broader scope of FOSS, is "natural" to have installations issues... but this is a step towards maturity.
Many volunteers works just to bring help to a product that helped to acomplish a task... yes is fine be in the credits list!!...
So software (computers, also) are not perfect!! it needs feedbacks between users and makers, the users needs/demmands better/cleare documentation and makers wants better trained people!
