No I don't expect everyone to become a Linux nerd/hacker/whatever, either.
But if regular users had just used what they'd been given without learning anything new like installing another OS, or partitioning a disk or something we possibly wouldn't even be having this discussion.
There most likely wouldn't be the incredible diversity and choices of OS's available that we see today, which would be a shame.
There'll always be some people who'll blame everything but themselves when they try something new and it doesn't work.
And there'll always be some people who'll ask questions without searching for answers first.
It can be just laziness, other times the only way to get a correct answer is to know what question to ask, or how to ask it.
Sometimes when trying to learn about something, a new user won't understand what it is they're trying to ask about, even though to someone who understands the issue it can seem like it's an easily answered "noob" question and all they had to do was look, that's all good and well if the issue or terms used etc. is understood, newbies don't always understand, hence the questions.
Some people like a challenge, tell them they can't do something & they immediately try to do it, that's human nature, we see it everywhere & it probably won't change anytime soon.
On public forums where helpers are volunteering their time & knowledge it can and does get frustrating answering the same questions over and over again, but if it all gets too much then it's as simple as CTRL+W...and it all goes away.
