Yes, for a beginner who does not need the advanced stuff, they can just ignore it right? As of now, I never use Google drive sync, I use syncthing to sync folders between mobile and my Mac. Universal OS rocks! (I hope it is in line with my vision of how the concept of universality is) I want to just visually ssh the phone and the machine, or rather the OS is in the phone and I just connect it to the machine, there was some project recently I don't know if it is available now. Edit: Why the downvotes?

I don't know why the downvotes, but your "beginners can just ignore advanced stuff" comment strikes me as naive. Beginners are typically terrified of anything they don't understand. I used to teach computers 101 to university students, and they'd pretty much freeze up every time they saw something they weren't expecting.

  Why naive? I was a beginner 3yrs ago in web development and Go. I wanted to learn how to build a webapp (I didn't and still don't know enough JS), I didn't get lost in the big maze of angular, react. I ignored the complicated stuff, I learned how to write a webapp[1], that was using pure HTML, then I learned Go, then I wrote a webapp. I wrote a todo list manager [2] Then, after I was comfortable with everything did I start learning AJAX, I chose Vue.JS and I migrated the app I wrote in pure HTML to use Go [3] and wrote a guide about it [4]. I pissed a lot of people of VueJS project when I raised this [5] issue, yes, in hindsight I do realize that I was rude to them, but their documentation had a problem (and I had already said sorry if I was rude) I still don't know how to use websockets and what not, or how to write load balancers or distributed database, or web proxy or cache or other things to be done at scale, I choose to ignore them as of now, as I build my capability to understand or until I need of them. This is what I meant by that statement. >they'd pretty much freeze up You know, in 2010, I still remember the first C programming class (I had not understood a single word) I had in my college, I froze and for a minute questioned if I had made the right decision to enter computer science. The point is that newcomers need to know what they can ignore while they learn the basics, it is not possible to learn everything in one go. Nobody teaches you real life, it just happens, and as a newbie it is my responsibility to learn in the best way I can without getting overwhelmed, and no, it is not a disparaging statement! Also, this is why I started Multiversity[6], this is a YouTube channel which teaches by example.
