Not really.
It's no more difficult to use a computer than to repair a car. But most
people cannot do the latter - because they choose not to understand the tool
they are using.
People who come here asking questions usually want to learn - which is good.
Modern operating systems are surprisingly easy to use and most people go
along their whole computer-using lifetimes without wondering "what's under
the hood" quite happily. Then there are those who start tweaking, start
letting that normal curiosity come out a little and ask "Why does this do
that?" That's the people that usually come here asking questions like
this.. Not people who "cannot use their operatring system" - but those who
wantr to know more about the intricacies that make it work instead of it
just being the spoon they use at dinner.
