Who said Linux can’t be advertised? Behold: Linux, powered by GNU, with anti-viral formula Wipes Windows clean in seconds.
What’s that? Dont like this particular formula? Don’t fret, there are plenty of other types. And the best part: It’s free. But you can donate if you want to, it’s your choice.
Join us today, at the side of FREEDOM!
While more donations and contributors are always welcome, the thing open source projects really need to break through are project leaders and UX designers to polish the software to make it more appealing.
Blender has come a long way in recent years by concentrating on these. There are also excellent videos by Tantacrul about his work on Musescore and Audacity after he made a video about Musescore and they got in touch with him to fix the problems he brought up.
Well then ask why UI/UX people don’t tend to help out with open source projects. I assume those people are far less idealistic. Which is why I have little respect for them.
In one of the Tantacrul’s videos he says that UI/UX people do try to help and share their expertise, but the programmers running the projects ignore them or are actively dismissive, so they give up.

This is sooo true! We often forget that there are professionals who need a specific UX so their workflow doesnt get hindered.
Open source maintainers need to realise the value of UX, not just “freedom” too…
