## Raspberry Pi App Store for Open Source Projects
Say there's **a guy**. He's comes from a Windows background and doesn't know much about Linux or RPi.
On day one, he tries to install a few familiar Windows apps. If he's lucky, he'll find a tutorial that doesn't work anymore. If he's unlucky, he will find a tutorial that bricks his OS. So on day one, this guy has followed two faulty tutorials and destroyed his system. How annoying!
Something needs to be done! Why hasn't anybody made a collection of bash scripts that install apps easily?
Pi-Apps does exactly this - distributing over 50 app-installers that are executed with one click of the mouse.
