Naive user orientation. Few questions. Can make it to a FAQ somewhere.
Hi there,
I'm a naive Windows user, looking for switching to something nicer, safer, with good (community) support. Who knows? I might just fit the image of your targeted audience.
1) Elementary OS is at the version number 0.4. I was not able to figure out if it is considered an alpha or a beta release. When your OS will be ready for *production* use, as they say? Version number, approximate time frame?
Is there any other support at the present stage other than this Q&A, and what is intended for the future? Community support, I mean, but directly related to Elementary OS. Safe and simple.
2) I wonder if you plan such a meticulously detailed user guide as how much you care about aesthetic design, so naive users can not only have a *nice looking* operating system, but also a *safe* one, which *just works.* I searched for such a detailed user guide on your online pages, but this is all what I have found: https:/
A proper OS needs proper documentation. I understand Ubuntu falls into the category of Linuxes that *hides* what's happening under the hood from naive and advanced users alike, unlike distributions like Gentoo and Arch Linux (a Linus Torvalds favorite). But sooner or later you can't hide the inner workings of the OS (that may be Linus' dream, which sounds nice in theory, but what about practice?), naive user also has to learn some basic system administration skills, just like with Windows. Is that sounds about right?
Thanks for your contribution
