    Most people do know how to use a computer though.

    That was kind of true for a brief period of time. And even then it wasn’t true entirely. Now most people encounter a computer when they enter the workforce. They know shit about shit, they never had to tinker with computers, most of them never had one outside of some chromebook that allowed them to render two web pages. In most cases they start from basically blank slate.

    Most people do in fact associate a cog with settings.

    Most people don’t know that it’s cog. Most people don’t know it’s a button. Most people don’t have concept of a button in mind. Most people entering workforce right this moment never used a mouse to press a cog button in their life. Unless they’re in IT or engineering.

    Also, I’m not talking about fixing problems

    This is usually when you kind of required to use console on Linux, that’s why I was talking about it.

    But my broader point was against so called intuitive self-explanatory nature of the menu you have to click with your mouse.
