@petit_suisse @weirdofhermiston There's no problem that I can see either, besides someone saying "don't be rude and off-putting" and you being rude and off-putting.

Asking a question publicly doesn't mean someone hasn't done their homework. You're making assumptions that help nobody. Tell me exactly how the poster you responded to is better off, having read your words? That's the problem the initial post is calling out -- Linux people posting for the sake of their own irritated feelings, and not for other users or the platform's sake. Just scroll by. If you don't want people to use Linux until they're able to be Linux scholars in public, then they won't use Linux. It's silly.

@petit_suisse@toot.community Blackmailing? You mean, she asked you to go easy on Newbies to Linux who may not know the infomation or where to get the resources? Mind you, some have been using Windows which if I recall is nothing like Unix so already were hit at the learning curve for them as well as some aspect of Linux is little buggy and they wouldn't know how to ask for help to solve the issue.

You are proving OP's point of how you guys are total dicks to newbies and have huge expection for them to know. Not everyone is tech-savvy which depending on which they usually do on their PC, it be ton of hassle for them to setup, troubleshoot as well as learn the alternative software that they used as it as different workflow as well as may not have the features they needed.
