I mean, it isn't really his fault that you needed (thankfully it was fixed) to read instructions in order to install Steam without breaking your OS

The GUI Pop Shop not working wasn't his fault for sure, but he deserves some blame for not reading two or three more lines on the terminal literally telling him continuing would uninstall his desktop. Like dude, just READ; the whole point of the terminal is to show you exactly what the system is doing on ANY operating system.

Linux is not Windows and the philosophy behind the design is first and foremost freedom. Unless you are using a distro with an immutable OS design, it's not going to hold your hand and make decisions for you like Microsoft or Apple do for their OSs.

Edit: People keep misunderstanding that there is a difference between hand holding and making GUIs intuitive and user friendly.

Hand holding doesn't allow for user agency like forcing updates or having access to certain files and directories even as an administrator.

You can still have a polished and well designed GUI on a desktop while also allowing users to update when they want and allowing them to have access to all files and directories in the system. They're not mutually exclusive.
