I'll admit to having stumbled through the install dozens of times, still learning. Every day I learn something. But the point of calling it a "hobbyist" operating system is to say that it is written and designed by those who use it. A more professional operating system would be one written by people who have no idea what the end user could or can do, just code monkeys pushing keys. The perfect operating system would be written by people who cannot or will not (or should not) use computers. The perfect operating system makes bread and rides a bicycle and knows which end of a cigar to point at a president. -- --
