. . . forgetting the original purpose and mindset behind Linux in the first place. From a 1990's point of view; it was always intended to be a hobbyist OS; and in most cases, one had to compile all the binaries and kernel one's self.

There was no such thing, really, as a "user" or "admin" - everyone was considered, and expected to be a developer.
