I have no idea why your comment is at the bottom of the page. So many arguments in this comments section set up a straw man, claiming that the author is saying that nothing should ever be configured. Of course, it's not that you never need configuration, it's that you should have sane defaults for very common use cases.

If you hear about Linux and want to install it, for example, Googling "Linux" just takes you to the linux.com homepage. Last I checked, it contained no links to distros. This is the same situation. Someone's goal is to install a Linux distro or to use nvm, so you should make it easy for them to install a Linux distro or use nvm. Don't make people wade through complex instructions for a process that should be simple.

Most software solves problems. Why add complexity when someone wants to get something else done?
