i have used linux alot, and if there's anything that annoys me the most is A) people who say linux is for everyone and B) some rando downloads a distro and when they run into HW issues they post on fourms and reddit like its personal tech support. when you get to that point, stop, and reinstall windows 11.

    For folks reading along, we absolutely are your personal tech support. Most of us owe way more than that to our mentors, and can never pay our mentors back, we can only pay it forward to folks like you.

    Ask away!

    statistically, who make up the majority of computer users? Software nerds? No its people using a web browser. So really you're annoyed that "everyone" in "linux is for everyone" doesn't include you?

    B.) The whole point of Open Source is there is no single tech support. People learn through exchange of knowledge. How else would you troubleshoot hardware issues? Its the most difficult class of issues linux users face as hardware vendors don't seem to want to support linux.

    Besides I find it quite hilarious to get worked up over reddit posts for random issues. Why don't you just ignore it and move on? Or you contribute instead?
