My partner, who can turn a computer on, on a good day, is running Slack
9.0 on a previously-loved laptop. "Useability" is going the way of "TCO"
as a meaningless marketing term.

That's not to say that the points you make about layered levels of
control are not valid.

To the original poster: I will download and burn both Fedora Core and
the free(beer) version of Mdk9.2, if you'd like. You can try each and
decide for yourself.

Asking about the relative merits of Linux distros invites the ultimate
display of partisanship since emacs v. vi.
