Having someone smoothing over the out of box experience for a lot of OSS is of value to me. A lot of projects I undertake get bogged down or stymied by setup instructions that trivialize or one-line non-trivial tasks (e.g. setup OpenCV, configure a reverse proxy in Nginx, etc).

A lot of this comes down to the fact that software moves quickly and instructions are written for a given piece of hardware on a specific version of a distro.

One of the benefits of having a common platform like the Raspberry Pi or shipping Docker Images is that you can ship a MVP that anyone can easily setup like Hassio, Pi-Hole, or PiWebcam.
