    Regardless of what a message box says the majority of people are gonna have to Google the issue.

    Linux powerusers have a meltdown when trying to comprehend that there exists a middle ground between power user and complete idiot, I guess - which leads to small essays saying nothing at all to people who will blindly agree with it no matter what it is says because it’s anti-corporate / anti Microsoft.

      Ok, but the solution to “lots of users don’t know the difference” isn’t “we might as well show so much less that we reduce the entire problem to a nondescript code that can mean several different things”

      There’s literally no reason to do that except to discourage people from solving the problem in the first place, because the users you’re referring to won’t do it either way.

      I don’t get why this is a controversial opinion?
