The conversation started, to which I contributed to, was about what's easiest out of the box for casual users. What are you on about?

"how many clicks does it take to install Nvidia or steam" is not a good measure of a distro. I will stand by that statement strongly, I think. Let imagine a totally-not-real distro that definitely isn't pushed on noobs constantly. Let's imagine that include that said distro has, multiple times, let their SSL cert expire and at least once recommended users roll back their clock. Is that a "good distro" for noobs because it slips the Nvidia package in?

Fuck. No.

I'm sorry but if the way we handle accessibility of Linux to non-Lijux-aware folks is to just push them to the latest flavor that has the most shit crammed in, well, I'm not sure what we expect the outcome to be.
