Feedback from the booth
We had a lot of questions from Debian users: - Why can't I scale my Gnome Desktop on Debian to a value between 100% and 200%? - Why does my XFCE Desktop shutdown when I close the laptop instead of continue running on my second screen? - My printer doesn't work.
Unfortunately most people do not provide enough information to enable us supporting them.
During the exhibition we started writing a FAQ:
Q: How can I help as a Newbie?
A:
1. Be patient
2. Search for friends
3. Make some good suggestions
Q: Why do you have an installer with default non-free firmware?
A: Because it simply works.
Q: What is the Linux Distribution I should use?
A: The one your best friends are using.
Q: How long will i386 be supported?
A: For quite some time .. but ARM32Bit will be supported even longer than 2038
Lessons Learned:
We did not have enough merchandise stuff - people were asking for that - and we only had one poster (space was provided for two posters).
