    I have no idea where you got the idea that that would be “such a technical task” for me. Nor why you think I had a “lego-less youth”. I’m >35 y/o and have been repairing computers since I was 15.

      Then the warning obviously isn’t directed at you, chill out. It’s for everyone who does need to be told that tinkering with the electronics in the controller can break it if they don’t know what they’re doing.

      “Welcome to your new linux system. You can delete or modify anything you want in the root directory, but we recommend leaving that to someone who knows what they’re doing.”

      It’s not a mixed message.

        Once again, I didn’t think it was.

        It’s for everyone who does need to be told that tinkering with the electronics in the controller can break it if they don’t know what they’re doing.

        Anyone dumb enough to need to be told this would pay it no heed.

        “Welcome to your new linux system. You can delete or modify anything you want in the root directory, but we recommend leaving that to someone who knows what they’re doing.”

        No Linux distributor in their right mind would tell you anything like that. They would tell you to learn.

        It’s not a mixed message.

        It very much is.

            What did I say that you interpreted as being “butthurt”? Why are you fabricating lies about my technical proficiency, my age, and my emotional state?

              I never said anything about your age or your technical proficiency, so you’re the one fabricating lies if you really wanna suggest that.

              As for your emotional state, I asked why you’re being butthurt because you’re being butthurt.
