In XP, when connecting to a wireless network, you are required to type the network's password twice. How the UI team came to that decision I'll never know.

From Wikipedia[1]:

a distribution is most simply described as a particular assortment of applications installed on top of a set of libraries married with a version of the kernel, such that its "out-of-the-box" capabilities meet most of the needs of its particular end-user base.

It seems you're just making up random criteria that elementary OS doesn't meet so you can dismiss it for what it is: an operating system.

These mappings of numbers to characters are just a convention that someone decided on when ASCII was developed in the 1960s. There’s nothing fundamental that dictates that a capital A has to be character number 65, that’s just the number they chose back in the day.

I don't think it's mere coincidence that the capital letters start at 65 and the lower case at 97 and the decimal digits at 48.
