I've only been using GNU/Linux since 2001, so I won't say that I'm by any means an expert yet, as most of those that are reading this, probably have been using Linux much longer than I have. However, I still have high hopes for the Linux scene. The purpose of this article is to voice my personal opinion on what I feel is keeping GNU/Linux from taking over the mainstream operating system market. My intentions aren't to "badtalk" the open source kernel+apps, but rather give constructive criticsm on what I personally feel it could be done better.
With OS X you drag a single icon into your applications folder or (typically if there are multiple files) it does it for you via an installer that more or less always looks and functions the same and never alienates the user. Which means I do it once and I will always know how to do it henceforth.
Simple, beautiful.
