I think this is the difficulty debian will have "going mainstream". We're not all sysadmins. Of course I know what "#" means, but users aren't sysadmins. What I explain is just what other modern distros do, eg Ubuntu. eg https://askubuntu.com/questions/766071/install-gnome-shell-on-ubuntu-16-04 Most beginner users have no idea what "su" or "sudo" is Based on this, would debian follow a modern approach? We're in 2018, not 2001! Jonathan
