8 Honestly, I'm not sure how many of these users will be installing
9 Ubuntu in the first place.

11 However, if they do use LVM and they end up asking somebody
12 knowledgeable for help, that person will be very happy to find that
13 the system has LVM installed.

15 If there were some kind of trade-off I'd see the argument, but the
16 worst case here is just that they may or may not need it. For
17 something with some benefit and almost no drawback that seems like a
18 wrong reason to avoid LVM.
