Nah, just more that they were being ignored as largely irrelevant.
No, just a customer preference that's being clearly articulated. Some folks are disinclined to spend many hours to comb through Newegg for every last option for a DIY build ... sound familiar to you? It should.Goal post shift.First, if you don't want to spend hours>

And who sells hardware with Linux OS preinstalled out of the box?
Lower powered Chromebooks are reasonably easy to find, but other flavors of Linux are less so. For example, I've used Ubuntu and found it to be pretty unfriendly, so HP's turnkey towers aren't a good choice for me.

Standardization of UIs has long been known as a significant enhancer to productivity and output quality; some systematic generalizable research studies have indicated gains can be on the order of +50% and +40% respectively.Plus you're implying that the work done by full time UI professionals isOne-size-fits-all designs can be optimal for all users, from toddlers

That's an argument to go with whoever has the larger marketshare, as
they've had the greatest amount of user UI feedback to optimize from.
Nope. Just pointing out that said "tweaks" still take time to do, even before we note that they can also be done wrong, which backfires on us: care to acknowledge that, or are you going to try to suggest that you're a perfect being who never makes mistakes?Still denying the point that "tweaks" SAVE time.There's a lot of>

Precisely the reason to trust professionals to be closer to offering a
more optimal UI.
