I agree, but I don't know what else you can put in the hands of the novice, unless its the iPhone world of corporate approved apps only purchased through a monopoly 'app store'.

Remember M$'s "3 knocks" and you are in Windoze software ?
The greater the difference between (Windoze, Lindoze etc.) and Linux the better.
I am sure M$ could have designed a much more secure operating system: But it didn't. Hence the success of superior non-Windoze operating systems. Keeping Linux pure from the Windoze influence is essential even if it means upsetting systemd fans :-)
