"But, a Raspberry Pi isn't supposed to be a replacement for your desktop; it is meant as a device for experimentation."
"why couldn't you read the self-contradicting docs and pick the right option?" (paraphrased)
"just because you don't know how to follow the instructions, doesn't make the OS bad."
" By now, you should see that years of experience != knowing how to use things."
"Yeah. Maybe just stop using Linux. You'll never be happy with it anyway. Most its-never-my-fault people aren't."
This has been my experience with the Linux community for 26 years.
I read through that post that elicited those comments that you have a problem with. At the end of a long list of complaints, it says: ".....yep, just as user friendly as I remember."
Nowhere does that post request help, and with that last comment, is clearly intended as a disparagement of Linux, not a request for help.
Then, you are turning around, and cherry picking responses to highlight the negative responses to a negative post, and disparaging the Linux community while ignoring the helpful responses.
I have to ask, what's going on here?
> Raspberry Pi 500
> The refined personal computer.
> A fast, powerful computer built into a high-quality keyboard, for the ultimate compact PC experience.
> Half those aren't even remotely harsh.
....and the fact that people consider this to be the case is more evidence of the Linux community's hostility.
Linux is like Rick and Morty: I don't mind it, but I never want to be associated with its fans.
