@Linux_in_a_Bit Years ago I found Facebook Linux groups to be like this, but all of Facebook is that way.
In more recent years, I've had good experiences in the Ubuntu and BunsenLabs support forums. Very nice and helpful people. No problems with elitism or being dicks to noobs.
I also avoid Reddit, so I have no idea what's there. The minute they sold out their site and members to AI, I jetted out.
