A dichotomy of user-hostile software:

- Mainstream software: user-hostile because it has a dozen popups trying to upsell you / accept cookies / grant permission to sell your data
- OSS software: user-hostile because it expects you to know how to use GPG to sign a certificate on the command line, and fuck you if you don't know what any of those words mean

@nolan Agreed on this as with GPG there has to be a user friendly way to do this that does not expect the user or assume the user is able to do this or is a IT specialist,

@zleap @nolan I know how to type gpg --recv-keys HEX when a package fails validating, that's about the extent I'm willing to go into. It's enough to get things working

@piggo @nolan I think you are about the same level as me, i can sort of gpg verify iso images
