    Sure – but would they then respond to a prompt reading…

    And then typing out that full exact phrase? I might do that, but only expecting/understanding that I may fuck my OS.

      There’s a reason windows flatly refuses to do some things no matter how much you may want to. It’s people that would do exactly that without any thought or hesitation.

        I prefer a system that warms me but lets me do what I want with safeguards. But I don’t buy for a second that many people would do this dumb shit. It requires too much effort for one.

          I too prefer that. However, I also know there is a large subset of computer users that just want their magic box to work and I don’t think it would be a bad thing if there was a Linux distro they could use.

            Well it sounds like we want the same result, but I will submit there already are a few.

            I have seen people struggle with install wizards on windows… so basically if we set up some Ubuntu or a similar OS for many people, they’d be happy with it. People just aren’t that great when any speed bump comes up and that’s true on windows also.
