This is about some nerd telling me my Linux issues don't exist and I just need X distro?

    That's relative to situation and also usually the easier solution to a certain problem because if you need to find a solution for your distro it might come to compiling from source. So, either switch to the distro recommended or just start from Gentoo for everything. If you're using Gentoo, no nerd will tell you to switch to another distro.

    Not using the right distro is the source of everyone's problem, according to the community

    I mean, certain distros are very good at marketing themselves/becoming well known, but actually impede wider adoption of Linux due to their piss poor choices or issues that aren't apparent until they have been in use for a few months, so sometimes, yes, the answer is to move to something less broken in weird ways.

    Whatever distro you end up on, someone will be in the comments to tell you why it's the wrong choice.

    Unless you're using Arch, btw
