Good point, my general expression of new users is often, not always - there are exceptions, that even if you spoon-feed them they still cry. If you entirely design the OS around this problematic, lots of power-users are getting salty because it ends up with more clicks, and more time-wasting doing simple tasks.
This is why the new Windows 11 design for example gets criticized even by their own community, you overall need more clicks doing or finding the same stuff among the newly created inconsistency because they try to get rid of old stuff while replacing it with new stuff.
I especially always find these design decisions difficult, because most noobs actually do a perfectly fine job navigating their computers without randomly clicking on every button nor changing every setting.
It’s basically designing your software, so that 5% of users cannot fuck up in 0.1% of situations.
And those exact users usually have someone to help them with their computer anyways.
