I think it's because people who have used windows for years hate to admit "though they are just basic users" that they don't know what they are doing and are not in any way technically minded. They don't understand the terms and refuse to look them up on a search engine. The especially and you know this do not ever RTFM. There is a ton of info and most windows users besides programmers and some gamer's rarely know or care to know, they are stupid and simply want to press a button for instant gratification though the gratification of learning the basics of Linux is an ordeal that brings gratification to the user. I used to watch the installations in Linux just staring at the words and paths and noticed words like hook and build and clean temp "during installs", and I wanted themes and wallpapers and I was sick of mint cinnamon rubber stamp looking themes so I found a bunch of info on the Linux file system in the system area and home and realized that you could install stuff for theming in the insecure home or the secure system area. I think most people have no curiosity "spoon feed it to me baby" and are to decadent just wanting a brain-dead good time and god forbid some real knowledge sticks in their brains accidentally. People think I'm nuts sometimes but the ones that don't are almost all engineers since I believe I see things like they do, it's either works or it doesn't no bios either way just facts and troubleshooting.
