Proposal for a "third preset":

This is already the default. ... This is the default that YAST currently suggests during installation.
This basically makes the there configured first Desktop User the "knowledgeable admin" type of user.
Then the crucial final question is:
Did Linus set up the user account for his daughter as "first Desktop User"?
If not the ultimate crucial final question would be:
Why did he fail to do so?
as far as I understand he does not want his daughter to change software repos, delete or install random packages, or add new users.
He just wants that she can add a printer, but its not even clear if this was a USB or Samba or IPP printer.
So he does not want to give her full root rights.
That is my understanding as well. It is really about the 1 user + 1 admin use case, i.e. it is a multiuser system with restriction that the root user almost never uses the machine.
