The the idea that no single person is motivated to simplify the software. Everyone is loath to remove someone else's lines of code. So configuration shell operations have thousands of lines of code. The install instructions work about half the time relaqtive to the documentation.
That is not all, the console commands are as confusing as always, until you learn them. Playing around is not something one can do one the fly because the command words are made of clueless, vowel=less letters that give no hint of purpose. Complexity for complexity sake.
They use directories as information devices, capturing the lay out of the code by the structure of the include, lib, and bin, plus version so the install you get is like eight directories deep, Then sometimes you find every c source has its one header, so you end up with tens of header files which the developer never uses or sees, Three of four linuxm variation ojut ther, all of them try to simplify install by, bugt are never able to.
Once I have a working OS, I am loath to install because I know I will get more tons of crap or something will break. Microsoft is actually worse at making js load tons of crap, especially their veruses, the so called defenders that deletes.
It used to be simperl. The only thing that has changed is the internet, other than that, most of us to the same things on the PC that we did 20 years ago, with less crap.
A bit discouraging, I keep saying to myself, "I don;t remember all this complexity."
