And yes, he forgot "Fast Boot".

And, also yes, not an excuse for not learning 10. Just hold your
nose.

I think a better article, would be finding a survey article that
details what the average user wants. Is an out-of-box
configuration sufficient ? Maybe that's all you need, for the
average user.

Having a series of picky people with some level of skill analyze
an OS, isn't going to tell naive users what they need to know.

Naive users will have trouble with everything you give them.

And I still don't believe a bit, the stories about "I gave my
grandma Linux and she hasn't phoned back since". I have 15 years
of Unix experience, and I'm still wasting hours with the rough
edges of Linux. Which includes, making a network connection work
on a new install (because it's broken for my Intel NIC), when I
can't get a web browser to connect to the Internet so I can look
up stuff. Between Network Manager and SystemD adding no value to
the experience, all I get is more broken NICs for my trouble. The
network actually worked at one time, and there were fewer things
to go wrong.

Nobody has "taste" in the Linux world. They're slaves to
convention. A SystemD convention. A PulseAudio convention (when
audio did have a migration story that didn't include Pulseaudio).

Who really needs all that *extra* aggravation.

And they can never leave well enough alone (just like Microsoft).
A couple years ago, I found some Linux Distros that could do file
sharing *perfectly*. What do I find today ? It's broken again. The
"automated Server setup" dialog has disappeared, implying I'm
supposed to go back to editing a gawd-awful configuration file.
And on the client side, maybe I can't get SMBv1 to work, and
there's no documentation about what I have to do to fix it.

Yep! I'm glad you can take the time to spell it out, more than I
understand. But I know it's true. I've always played with stuff over
my head, I know what a wild goose chase looks like.

And then Like the original poster mentions Like the "Windows Store"
and I'm Like "What store?" That's Like for smartphone users.
