This is fine except when user having either static-ip or using VM which doesnt give readable network interface to the distro inside it (falling into same category of static-ip). solving/giving: - Adding static IP and so as manually installing is not well documented and need knowledge and skills (very faraway to be handled by new users)check #47630 - Easiness of modifying things e.g instead of using tens of commands it will be replaced with couple of clicks and for surely less typing (compare gparted vs parted steps or network-manager vs ip commands and so on). You can checkout many distros whos giving this opportunity like nixos, trisquel/triskel, mint...etc - Give trial usage of the distro for the user before installing it ...etc And any user who doesnt want GUI he can switch to tty for commands or textual installation. (The image of the guix will be bigger for surely, But as they say the bigger the better) ThX!
