It's worth noting that there are drawbacks to using noatime, many that would effect new and inexperienced users, such as browser performance with certain web extensions, sometimes proxy caching, and sometimes PPA updating, to mention a few. A beginner distro should not send new users to fstab right off the bat.
Also, for the same new user reasons, a simple firewall is included with the base system. Other Linux distros, which are not for beginners, like Debian, RHEL, Suse, etc. make a firewall optional because users usually configure iptables, or nftables, etc. to protect and connect their systems. I use UFW on some of my Debian systems because it's convenient for some of the networking I do. I'm not ashamed of being non-geeky by using it, maybe a little lazy or in a hurry, but not ashamed.
Both the things you mention should remain default in Linux Lite.
Nothing in Windows is idiot proof, but in fact it's generally idiot friendly until it needs fixing.
