Newbie: Hi I just want a distro to go shopping and for family tasks.
Mechanic: You want a racing car. Lift the hood and I’ll show you how to operate all the adjustments. Racing cars need lots of tuning and youll need wide tyres too.
Newbie: Can’t I just drive to the shops?
Mechanic: But you need to learn under the hood first. That’s what Linux is all about.
Newbie: there is also no room for shopping in this racing car.
Mechanic: there is if it’s just text files. Don’t bother with all that jpeg and binary bloat.
Newbie: You know, as much as I hate Windows, either I didn’t need a mechanic, or got one who didn’t insist open the hood to operate it.
