[Bug 723831] Re: Installer – The option to 'install third-party software' when installing Ubuntu should be selected by default (aka "make Youtube work")

[Paul Sladen]

For those interested, Jono wrote a piece:

functionality-a-design-challenge/

The post itself includes a highlighted screenshot of the installer
screen in question:

The most intriguing suggestion mentioned on that blog is a (very
beautiful) mockup, showing a slider from "free" to "non-free":

  All free software → proprietary drivers ↔ MP3 ↔ DVD ↔ Flash ← All non-free software

This would make the choice less binary;  and allow the installer to
call-out at edge level what the impact on the user-experience would be.
