The typical user will have exactly one Fedora desktop.
/me counts my desktop systems. 1. Check.
He will never
ever look at his system logs.
Oops.
(I actually uninstalled syslog and only use journalctl [awesome] now.
But I do look at the logs.)
If you told him that his computer can send
him email, his head would explode.
Naw. Been using these for decades. Works good. Lasts a long time.
(Of course, I always have to make up for Fedora's broken installation
by updating my aliases file. But I've had to do that since Solaris
2.5 days.)
You can yum install sendmail if you want it, without forcing it on
Grandma. You really can.
Well, yes. But I'm not sure this discussion really has a handle on
the typical *Fedora* user. But hey, I don't have real data either.
Just one "typical" user data point.
