A normal person should install a LTS distro and use it for 5-10 years, a normal person has no need to know what gcc version or python version is installed.

Hopefully no extreme fanboy tricks a normal user to install his favorite bleeding edge distro that needs under the hood knowledge , heavy maintenance and troubleshooting skills.

The story is different if you need Linux for your work or you LOVF thinkering.
