I beg you, if you are a developer of an open source app or program - add screenshots of your app to the README file. When looking for the perfect app, I had to install dozens of them just to see what the user interface looked like and whether it suits me. This will allow users to decide if the app they choose will suit them... Please, don't think about it, just do it....

Yeah people are very much lazy and that's fine, you just have to work around that and well culture is one way of getting people to do what should be done.

As you say Foss does impact quite a lot of those company products however what is the important part of the casual user is what and how they interact directly with the products and well at no point are they expected to directly impact the project, it's just you use what you are given. That is why they have that people will do things for me mindset bc that is what happens with almost everything the use
