Just say no to Linus and his opinions …
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I especially always find these design decisions difficult, because most noobs actually do a perfectly fine job navigating their computers without randomly clicking on every button nor changing every setting.
It’s basically designing your software, so that 5% of users cannot fuck up in 0.1% of situations.
And those exact users usually have someone to help them with their computer anyways.
