And most people won't have any idea which is the correct answer, will pick one at random or pick the default, and then spend the rest of the install process worrying that they picked the wrong answer. Why would any OS maker want to inflict that on their users?
- diego 15y agoYou already pick a ton of defaults when installing an OS (English keyboard, whatever). Same as when downloading something from a random mirror. People don't think twice about these things.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoMy mother has never once downloaded anything from a mirror. On the other hand, she has also never installed an operating system. Perhaps there should be an "advanced" step during install, which would be skipped by default.
