Linux Support Communities are a trillion times more welcoming, kind and understanding of new people today than they were 10 and 20 years ago.

I still am scared to ask questions, but at least when I finally have no choice and resign myself to asking a question.. its generally answered kindly, and if its not answered directly I'm at least put in the right direction. And that helps me build my own knowledge base, and helps me solve future problems on my own.

Unlike when I did my first dip into linux a couple decades ago where you'd be called some creative combination of Windows/Microsoft and a sexual slur and told to go the fuck back to windows if you are too stupid to have been born without the complete comprehensive understanding of the terminal.

I hope the community continues to improve, and welcome newbies and their problems like it currently does, so we can all grow and thrive together.

What happened to Dexter?

I realised, that sometimes it is more like a different experience level. And some people forget it could be possible the asking person is an absolute newbie.

And most people in forums are there because they want to help, but they want to help on this one asked case and won't teach the whole Linux universe, most people need years of experience for.

The good thing is, we can use AI for this nowadays, it won't go mad if you are missing an elemental "you really should know, how this works" kind of error.

Props to people are actually helping, it goes a long way and people do learn information differently. Sometimes telling someone just to read something doesn't click.

command -v lol is returning an error on my system???

I just got a new laptop, I want to change it to Linux, it is going to be a really fun experience

This is why I like my Manjaro friends and neighbours.

The fact that you need a qualifier speaks volumes.

Jokes on you I trolled myself by being stupid and not asking for help when installing on the crap old pc I have and fucked myself over by bricking it
