Yeah - it’s remarkable that I receive pushback about it. I guess it’s down to the technical immaturity of your average home-gamer vs. people who support Linux systems for a living?

  Of course, Linux sysadmin needs linux to remain a ceaseless whirlpool of busywork, that’s what they’re paid for. Imagine having a tool that cuts the bullshit out of using linux, it would put them right out of business if the users could just do the things they want to do without having to beg the middleman.
