Hahahahahahahahahhahha. I'm a 'boomer' by 27 hours, FFS.

@deathkitten @sco_tty

Ummm... yes it is.

No 'victim' in it. More than likely lazy-bones expecting everyone to drop everything and hold their hand. That's "not okay".

Look, what is wrong with you two???

Grow the fuck-up and get off your moral horses.

Life sucks for ALL of us atm.

I just don't need your crap, holier-than-tho dribble moralising a simple OP with a slightly different opinion.

@sco_tty @deathkitten

Suggest you start at the start and chill just a little bit.

Thanks mate...

@deathkitten

FFS, READ you own stuff.

Your response to a generalised opinion was absolutely toxic.

Suggest you get counselling for that massive chip on your shoulder, or grow-up.

@deathkitten

Fair enough.

Not really my fault though.

And, where I'm from, "mate' is a non-gendered term of de-escalation.

Oh, and, are you complaining about the toxicity of the "Linux Community", or providing an example of it?

@deathkitten @Linux_in_a_Bit

Nice meet you too...

It was just an opinion mate...

And the folk who escaped the toxicity of X, Facebook, etc, etc to the, supposedly, more moderate Mastodon just love reading post's like your reply.

Oh, and, fuck you dickhead!

@Linux_in_a_Bit

I hear what you are saying, but, there are caveat's to it.

If you go from Windows/MacOS to ARCH or a rolling-release type of distro then you can expect some folk to be a little short on patience with newbies.

Not because they're unhelpful but because its a pretty silly thing to do.

After 2 years on Linux Mint I have just moved to Debian 13 and GNOME desktop was strange at first. But I still don't think I could be bothered with an ARCH type distro.

I think if you do your research and choose a distro recommended for learners there are plenty of helpful, patient, folk willing to walk you through the basics.

Doesn't mean you are wrong, I'm just not sure things are THAT critical atm.
