Here's the thing: what makes Linux difficult to newbies is not the absence of choice; it is the *abundance* of choice. It's very difficult to make choices without having any basis for deciding. As a new user, should you use Gnome or KDE? They're both good enough you may as well flip a coin... but newbies probably *should* avoid UDE. A true sumo distro would contain all three, would it not?
