    To be fair to the newcomers, most tech literature (messages, UI text, manpages, etc) is written by people who already know, for people who already know. It is meant as a reference for developers, not as an accessible documentation. So, for newcomers, the documentation, and accessible communication, is severely lacking at best, and non-existent at worst.

      I some cases sure, but a lot of the time it’s simple stuff like “Save changes before quitting?” or “You need to restart to apply updates. Restart now?” and they still can’t figure it out.
