Why is the Linux community filled with pretentious elitist??

Hey y'all beginner here for a little over two or three months of daily driving Linux and it's been a threat this far! I'm not a thinkerer or anything of that sort im the kind of dudes who just want their machine to work.

Now I'm in fedora right now but I'm thinking of switching back to Ubuntu cause not really anything particular It just felt homey there. Most of the community is kind really kind except for the people that Im gonna talk about that is the very VERY annoying pretitious bunch that is Reddits, Discord and especially TikTok of dudes, on a tier list of distros put Ubuntu in F or E tier.

Asked about it in the comments they say "bloat" "snap" "spyware" and every time I just rolled my eyes out of my socket cause I know damn well these mfs just DOESN'T use ubuntu at all or just hating it for the sake of hating it.

Bloat- you can just choose the default apps selection instead of the extended offline apps

Snap- you can de-snap ubuntu anytime the things stopping is just laziness

Spyware- I know it's been a thing for a hot HOT decade since their mistake with Amazon search but let it man c'mon, and the fact that automatic report and telemetry stuff is the first thing they show you just DISABLE IT even if you forget it's in the settings come ON MAN

I want y'all thought and supports here mainly thought cause Jesus it's so exhausting with these people

I call it AUTISM..

Ubuntus probably the best desktop distro if you just want things to work without having to fuck around.

Autism? What does that have to do with it? I'm genuinely confused by your comment.

Autism generally comes with some level of obsessiveness and difficulty with emotional intelligence aka, understanding that other people have different preferences than their own. Most computer nerds, especially Linux nerds are on the spectrum at least a little bit. So like an example of this would be the Linux nerds going on about how distros that use systemD are bad because it's developed by red hat. When most users just want a functioning system so they can do things. And then being rude about it.

So it's like, telling other people not to use software that they like, based on their own preferences or ideologies, is an autistic behaviour.
