<![CDATA[Multiple Users at Install]]> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/10537/
Families won't like (K/X)Ubuntu if they can't make all their own personal user accounts from the get-go.

Right now, to install (K/X)Ubuntu for multiple users, you have to set one up, then log in, add a new user, and go through the process of setting of group permissions mirroring that of the first user. This is NOT intuitive.

This is what the setup looks like (KDE-wise),

The less in the installer the better b/c:
A. You don't want people getting dependent on the installer to do everything for them. (One tool, not two== Ubuntu design)
B. If it breaks here, they don't have a working system.

There is already a "you can add extra users later" text during installation.

But maybe this can be done *after*, on the first boot when an Ubuntu tutorial shows up to help newbie. Then we can have a small section explaining how to had extra users.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:04:48 +0000 Comment from andruk
Telling end users that they have to do simple things in different places is not "simple", in my humble opinion. Try to keep things as simple (ie: organized) as possible. Setting up multiple users is fairly basic as far as the end user is concerned, and since you're already setting up one user, you might as well set them all up.

In short, simplicity is complicated. ;-)

I still like my idea, but the Gnome user management is a LOT simpler than in KDE. There's no way to make a "default" user in kuser, only a barebones one. The gnome user management supports a profile for a generic user.]]> Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:22:00 +0000
