@wiak :-
Use of the terms 'Standard' and 'Legacy' was off the top of my head.....but I was trying to think of terms that would be easy for noobs to take in. But to make that 'Full' and 'Multi-layered filesystem installation', umm.....you're talking from a developer point of view (and one who has made it clear over the years that he likes to use the exact, specific, correct term for everything!)
YOU know what you're talking about. I, and most regular community members know what you're talking about. But for a noob, I honestly think that's just going to hopelessly confuse your average Joe.....and drive them into the waiting arms of mainstream distros who have gone out of their way to simplify everything as much as possible. And that's along with the further necessity of then having to once again make it clear that 'Full' is NOT the preferred method. This puts us back to square one, TBH. We still haven't re-named it to make it easy-to-understand.....and that is the whole point of the exercise, after all. At least, I thought it was....
Am I making any sense here? Sometimes, ya gotta let go of your own, pre-conceived & preferred way of doing things IF you want to attract the "great unwashed". We can't be too fussy & pernickety at the early stage of attracting new users.
Perhaps the whole question is a 'lost cause', and we'll NEVER get around to addressing this issue that's needed sorting for ages. A lot of our trouble, as a community, is that we always end up going round & round in circles and arguing everything to death. And STILL nothing gets done.
