Personally what I was responding to was the apparent assertion that a
certain set of distros contained and/or forced the use of "distribution
specific" GUIs, which:

a) Isn't true, it seems that there are always text files that are easily
editable.

b) Isn't unique to the distros that were mentioned in your allegation -
every single distro has its own distro-specific GUI and distro-specific
file format and distro-specific file location.

It seems that what you're really complaining that:

a) You don't like Fedora's file format, or at least prefer Debian's.

b) You don't like Fedora's file location, because it's nested deep(er)
in the filesystem.

c) You don't like Fedora's documentation location, because, whilst the
location is standard, it's not obvious how to find it if you don't know
the standard.

Those points are all fine - I just don't like anti-distro/OS/HW FUD. Say
what you mean!
