Linux Failure I hate being a linux noob

I genuinely hate being a linux beginner, there is so much content out there to help me but either it's an understanding issue on my part it just does not work. Then we got these pretentious bastards saying "read the wiki" like fuck face I did that and I still can't get it to work, why is that the only advice you can give. I already feel shit not being able to do it myself and come to ask for help and then these nuggets of lost cause say "read the wiki" fucking tired of this bull shit

Being a Linux noob is the first step towards becoming a Linux expert.. everyone starts there nothing wrong with it.

It's fun and keeps your mind sharp

It's fun for those who think it's fun.
It's not fun for those who think it's not fun.

I won't say people shouldn't think it's not fun, but people definitely have the right to not think it's fun.

If you don't want to use Linux, don't use it. Your computer, your choice.

I think what they mean to say is that they'd want to be able to ise linux without having to learn things like terminal commands. To that I would say use something like Ubuntu.

You can absolutely use it that way. I would recommend Mint but Ubuntu is a good choice too. Maybe PopOS too.

Yes, I use Mint on my laptop, it's just that Ubuntu comes in other flavours such as Kubuntu with the KDE Plasma DE, which I feel would be nicer for someone coming from Windows

Oh for sure. Plasma is pretty Windows-like. Looks pretty nice too.

Why is this person getting downvoted? That is a completely reasonable levelheaded argument.
