For example, I’m using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it “friendlier” for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be “the universal operating system”.
I also think we could learn website design from… looks at notes …everyone else.

    OpenSUSE has a guided setup if you dont want a surprise or don’t know what manual setups requires. then prior to starting givea you a summary of what will be done.

      Great, there we go, sounds like all distros should learn from OpenSUSE.

        Each one has good parts, but I think openSUSE did a lot to make things easier for new users to linux

        • Install, you see software summary, you can click and alter what patterns or packages you want included.
        • auto snapshots when you enter package manager or admin tools, easy rollback with snapper or boot list
        • a GTK front for all of YAST2-GUI components. All system, network, firewall, service, packages, boot and kernel config are available as GUI dialogs (as well as many others)
