Panel 1 Stef: I don't see why I should have to learn Linux, Pitr. It's too cryptic to use. Panel 2 Stef: The command line is terrifying. And what are all of these weird files? You call this an operating system? Panel 3 Pitr: You are not needing command line. Linux have windows-like interface, see? Point and click, no problemski. Stef: But where are the THEMES?! How do you expect me to use an OS without themes?!
