From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I always see posts from noobs asking how they can help out with Linux. It got me thinking, they should just document what they want to do.

If we get a solid document of the top 100 things people want to do, that pretty much covers most the cases people are interested in. UX designers can help out in Linux by running usability tests for these use cases, new devs can work out kinks in apps, etc etc etc. I personally think the list of 15 tasks they did here were fantastic, and DEs can tangibly target them to be easy.
