A pretty interesting post about what makes Ubuntu’s latest avatar (Hardy Heron) usable (or unusable) for people with average computer skills. It hit me that whatever we geeks assume as being self-evident is in reality quite disconnected with what is presented to us in the system. This post, to me, was more illustrative of how useful and subsequently, how successful Linux can become on the desktop platform for average people.
