I used Linux for many years, I still run it for my personal projects. I'm sure it's not everyone but damn the community is toxic as hell to newbies. If something doesn't work it's your fault. Don't know what flatpak is? You're an idiot. How do I use X? Don't use X it sucks but also I won't provide alternatives. Linux just works now open up terminal and type these flags to mount your external drive correctly so other programs can see it.
I love the power and customization but it's a confusing world at times with unhelpful people.
I mean X does suck. Unfortunately, it's still the better choice sometimes. At least Wayland is clearly better than the other X.
X in my post was meant to mean anything, as in unknown. But I see the confusion in regards to the window manager haha
If you're asking how to do something, and most of the responses are "why would you want to do that?" It means you can't do it.
So instead of "why would you want to do that" they can say "you can't do that and here's why but you can do this"
This has been pretty much my experience with every time I've gotten the "Linux" itch...
It's so bad that most of the time googling doesn't help because the top twenty results are just someone else getting shit on for asking the same question.
