And how can this be improved ? Should "normies" be pushed into RTFM or ELI5 ?

What's the issue with just ignoring them? I really don't think making open-source software intentionally obscure because annoying people exist is a great idea. Ultimately we want more people to use FOSS instead of corporate software.

It takes time and energy to ignore them and only them specifically. They need to be filtered out, bug tickets closed and cleared out of otherwise useful channels. The alternative is you just ignore everybody interacting with the project, but that's not a good solution.
