    • RE: CALL FOR TESTERS: New install script

      Actually, there’s two more things I’d like to point out, now that I think about it.

      First, I specifically put in the readme that the script is written for people with a basic understanding of Linux and X. That’s not saying it can’t be used by people who don’t have that, but everything we’ve been discussing so far boils down to “It’s obscure to people who lack a basic understanding of Linux and X”. Well, yes it is, and I won’t apologize for that.

      Second, what sparked the whole controversy was originally the presence of the blackpixel executable in the script. Funny thing is, nobody even asked me about the purpose or the source code of the blackpixel executable when it was still in there. I would have gladly shown it off and explained it, but instead of asking, all anyone ever did was basically criticize me for it being there because they didn’t understand it just by looking at it.

      Everybody should remember that IT isn’t easy. If it is easy, that’s because people who have the skills and knowledge put in the work to make it easy for those who don’t. I’m very grateful to all the great people who put in the hard work so I can have Linux, X, MagicMirror or a ridiculously cheap versatile computer like the Raspberry Pi. I just wish the world would reciprocate just this once.

      @KristjanESPERANTO What are you talking about, the listing of those config files is right there in the comments, and the purpose of that binary is quite obvious if you have a basic knowledge of Linux and Xorg. Also the file name the binary gets stored under is a dead giveaway. Don’t expect me to spoon-feed you obvious information.
