Well-suited to developers does not mean exclusively for developers, any more than a decent set set of tools is only for professional mechanics, carpenters or what have you.

Not everyone who prefers DIY D's for a living.

"Not suitable for non-techy users" is like saying that an automobile with a manual transmission is suited only to gearheads.

Feh!

Yeah, Linux is not for non-techy users. It's true. What do you think about word processing in Linux? Normal students need that, and using wine is not a good choice, as it decreases the GUI of software and the actual performance as well. Students don't like Libre office, it's kind of bulky.

Actually, I'm still unaware that you speak for all students.

Your biases are not the Way o' the World.
