Really? Is openSUSE targeting people who can't install software?
Yep. See the guiding principles ;-)
Please point me to part of guiding principles which you are referring to. I fail to see anything mentioning users not needing to install software/packages.
«... create a distribution which is stable, easy to use and a complete multi-purpose distribution for users and developers, for desktop and server use, for beginners and experienced users, for everybody. »
Notice the "beginners" in there. Why do you assume that beginners can not install package? Could you elaborate more on your definition of beginner?
Honestly when I started to use linux, and definitely was beginner I knew how to install packages within days (even through some graphical tools). I believe that there is difference between "make distribution which is friendly to beginners" and "make distribution that is suitable for users with zero knowledge of anything related to computers" I have also noticed that it is not first time that you "fight for rights of beginners" - I am actually kind of curious - why?
