When people get older, such accidents happen more, and get more frustrating.
I wish there was a global way at installation time to make DND not exist, so
that no user on that installation could ever be faced with an accidental DND
making something disappear.

Accidents aren't always really accidents. Mouse buttons sometimes register
two (or more) clicks when one is wanted, totally changing the consequence
from that expected.

Least surprise defaults please. Fedora doesn't need to copy Ubuntu, which
copied Windows/Mac/whatever. Better decisions make a better product. Fedora
doesn't need to exist if it can't strive to be better than the rest, and
please the users it already has.
