    God damn I love it :) I’ve been messing with Linux for 20 years now and there are some patterns that never seem to change.

    In almost every thread about Linux there will usually be:

    1 person bragging about 'Using Arch" btw (before that it was LFS or Slackware)

    1 or 2 people saying this will be “The Year of the Linux Desktop”

    2 or 3 people joking about it being “The Year of the Linux Desktop”

    10 - 15 people explaining why it wont be or shouldn’t ever be “The Year of the Linux Desktop”

    3 or 4 people complaining about how rude the Linux community is.

    10-20 people saying that isn’t their experience and/or they always try to help people when they can.

    1 or 2 people actually being rude (who are usually downvoted).

    2 or 3 people saying how Windows/Mac OS is better in certain ways.

    4 or 5 people complaining about one specific thing that doesn’t quite work for them in Linux, or one specific Windows/Mac only program they must use for work.

    8- 10 people giving them suggestions about how to solve their issue or work around it.

    Personally I love the Linux community. The people are mostly great, friendly, able to think outside the box, and willing to help others. I try to emulate that whenever possible. Sure you are going to get rude people in every scene, I just ignore them.
