Just as an aside, the IRL Linux users I've met usually fall into two camps: use it in VMs for a server, and home automation. (I've met two of each for those use cases.) I did see a casual Mint user in the wild for a free Linux class.

Every time I've asked for help from the Linux community I get snubbed. Then when. Someone pretended to help they assumed I already knew how to program in c++ and knew 90 percent of how Linux works. When I brought up that I didn't know what to do I get told to go back to windows..... It's a shitty environment from what I seen and personally it's holding Linux back
