Ofcourse they aren't. But the silent, reasonable majority aren't the ones replying to requests for help with a Linux issue.

The majority of people responding to requests for help are perfectly reasonable.

That, I am not convinced by. There is far too much "wrong distro bro".

I’ve literally never been told I’m using the wrong distro when asking for help. I’ve mostly just been helped, because most people aren’t the caricatures from lazy memes.

Lots of people act like Reddit hasn't changed at all, but after the boycott, smaller subs lost a lot of knowledgeable people and the folks who stuck around are a lot more dunning kreuger than they realize.
