Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net

Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".

Yeah as I was typing that I realized the tone it had and I didn’t appreciate it either.

You have a very valid point because if this conversation was about politics I would be disregarding my own comment lol.

In this situation tho, it seems counterproductive to a community and product that relies heavily on attracting more users and contributors.
