> I define and judge "advanced" here not from a CS standpoint but rather from a real-world pragmatic standpoint

Which is completely subjective and also not what “advanced” is usually used in reference to when it comes to OSes. Perhaps you meant “intuitive”?

Either way it’s subjective so you could have just distilled both your posts (and points) to this:

“Personally, I don’t like it.”

That’s fine. You do you. No harm no foul. Would have saved everyone the essays & you typing them.

Related: you... overwrite. You’re incredible verbose for the amount of data you’re delivering. That can come across as patronizing or condescending. To use a $5 word: you bloviate.

I don’t say this to belittle; it’s merely feedback & trying to help. Tone can be hard in text.




I upvoted you for pointing out a relevant problem in my communication. I agree and do/will try to improve. Thanks for the feedback.

(In this case I wanted to be as formal as possible to convey respect. English isn't my mother tongue so I may tend to overdo it).
