OpenSUSE, like Fedora, is a simple install if you are an experienced user, but it is probably beyond the skill set of a casual home user. For example, during the install you will be asked if you want a partition-based or LVM-based partitioning scheme. Admittedly, if you just click Next, the right thing will happen, but it's definitely a confusing question to ask a user who may not even know what LVM is.


Why do new users need to be spoon-feed by watering down stuff for them like if they don't have the ability to learn new things like google what LVM is and learn how to use it?
