- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Ok but that shit with Nvidia is they fault
Iβve found that Linux users will either bend over backwards trying to help or will call you an idiot for not knowing βbasicβ shit. Basic shit to them is something that is only known to 5000 people globally.
In 2014/2015 my little brother went to the arch forums to get help with his "Arch" install. They were very helpful. And then they realized he was using antergos and kindly pointed him to the correct resources.
Kinda funny in hindsight, but I'm extremely thankful they didn't tell him to drink bleach or whatever.
I feel the Arch devs and TUs can be quite helpful, but the users spreading the gospel can be the opposite sometimes. I remember a user saying Arch won't implement PackageKit because it was shit, but the actual reason from a developer was that PackageKit doesn't really work with rolling release distributions like Arch.

If you talk shit instead of genuinely having trouble with something, any hobby group will not take it lightly. There's honestly trying and coming up empty, and then there's the "I don't have to put so much effort on other platform X" kind of response that indicates you are just trying to trash talk.
If you talk shit instead of genuinely having trouble with something, any hobby group will not take it lightly.
Such a simple concept. It's surprising the number of people who don't recognize this, then invariably go on to talk about how "toxic" the community was to them for "just asking a question."
My general rule is that i shouldn't spend more energy than the person asking for help because there are people that call for help not because they are unable to solve the thing on their own, but because they rather someone else did everything for them.

The duality of man. Personally, Iβve only ever experienced the first kind.
I've only ever experienced the first kind firsthand when asking for guidance, but seen a lot of the second in the form of online bickering not involving myself π
It's an elitist mindset. I have been around a few. I try to be helpful, but I'm sure I have come off as a different way at times.
I try to help when I can to pay penance for when I was young and an asshole.
π΅ when you were young and your brain was an oozing wound, you used to say "skill issue, noob" (you know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we're livin' Makes you facepalm and sigh
Help out a guy! π΅
