A major problem with Linux Distros is Drivers. And of course it's hard to include all the drivers out there in a distro. But if an open source project focuses only on drivers and develops a tool that will install all your drivers from the internet from the Distros installation point, I believe that the problem will be absolutely solved.
I'm sorry if my English sucks!

Drivers manager
Posted by zaghasaji 260 days agoEasy-to use tech support and question-answer tree
Posted by TheBlackCat 262 days ago
I agree that having a single place for tech support articles and tutorials would be a good idea, but I do not think yet another forum and set of wikis is the best solution. Instead, I think users should be presented with an increasingly specific sequence of choices that allows them to narrow things down to either their specific issue or at least a manageable number of articles.

A list of professional looking up to date screen capture videos of Linux in action would be the most powerful marketing tool for open source.

A glossary. There is a lot of slang in the Linux world as well as terms that a Windows or Mac user has never heard. This would be an invaluable tool for first time Linux users.

Online training tapes
Posted by ferfromlb 264 days ago
Take the 5 top Linux distros and make online training videos, so people can learn Linux. It can be done like video wikis so that as distros change the training videos will change as well. All of this could be maintained through contributions by the various Linux communities. Also as problems arise it would be good to video the problem and the solution so that people could see both.

Distributions Central
Posted by IdeaForgeCommunity 271 days ago
Linux.com should provide access to every active Linux distribution. This should be done in two ways: first, a master directory where users who know which distro they are looking for can look up that distro and find a page containing a summary the distribution's attributes, links to the latest version of the software, and links to the latest documentation found for that distro. Second, there shou
