IMHO, Tumbleweed is not for novices. It is aimed at users that can solve many problems on their own, with some admin knowledge. This, I think, was posted at some web page long ago but may have disappeared: after all, nobody wants to scare users away ;-)
any distro including windoz requires more than just sitting in front of the box. could you drive a car w/o some training and practice and care and you even had to obtain a license.
Yep, you need a driving license to use a care. But the car should work reliable and you don't need to be a car mechanics or car electronics (in the future more car SW developer ;-) )
how to use the key if one how the gears work or how to select a gear how to turn on the windshield wiper how to fill the gas tank what type of gas/petrol to use many things more than just sitting at the steering wheel
But why always comparing other OS with Linux? Linux based systems are different but the should be also relay reliable and usable with a nice and stable SW ergonomic (during my study as Ingenieur-Informatik time there was a dedicated curse for this).
all OSs not just linux. there are others.
Remark: Today I'm working as HW-architect for truck control units running with Linux and other OS - so I know what I talk about the comparison with cars ;-))
and I worked 40 years for GM. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
