Maybe, but desktop would rule out laptops and desktop machines are used as
servers all over the place...
My preference would be three terms that indicate a verbosity level with an
explanation in the F? screens and installation manual what each option is
most suited for. Something like:
- - easy: mainly automated configuration, most suited for workstations
default option (equal to linux)
- - medium: partly automated confuguration, more suited for servers
- - verbose: full control of configuration, may be nesecary for unusual hardware
(There is no 'w' and only one 'a' in that lot ;-)
