    100% this. The Linux community seems very hostile to people trying to learn. The amount of times I’ve looked something up just to find a thread answered with “learn how to use search” or people just being outright mean to someone who is just figuring the basics out…

    The year of the Linux desktop is never until the community gets its toxic shithead problem under control.

      Been using Linux for 20 years. Never had this issue. Maybe I just did not notice due to the expectation of people being shitty in general.

      Edit: Out of curiosity, what distro caused you this issue, or just all Linux help in general? I am an engineer and it is always people who can’t find their ass with both hands who are the most arrogant. I could see this happening on a beginner distro more than some of this obscure shit we use.
