From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And with this attitude you are already far out of "average pc user" territory.
Which is my point exactly:
I think you understood the opposite of what I was trying to say.
Average PC users sadly do just click "yes" on everything without reading to make it go away.
Sorry I still feel like we have a misunderstanding here.
I was saying that Linus is not an Average PC user so he would not simply click yes. I feel like you're reasoning the other way round? I.e. an Average PC user would just click yes so Linus I not an averge PC user but that doesn't make sense to me since he did simply click yes?
I'm sorry I keep on about this and if I'm completely misunderstanding you I just wanna figure out what you mean
I'm saying he was deliberately trying to act like an average user to show the average user experience to his viewers. The same reason he refused to ask experts he knows via work for help and attempted to do research available to an average user.
OK. Finally got your point. That's a fair argument and I guess one strategy to approach it that way.
Though I do feel like the takeaway most people had from Linus's failure is "If Linus can't figure it out how can I ever?" So I would argue in that way the challenges sort of falsified the truth?
But yeah got your point now, sorry for being slow.
