These people are another barrier on the road to Linux adoption. I personally had an issue with Void Linux, a systemd free distro whose manual is seriously lacking and lots of what is in Arch Wiki may not apply there. I went to their support server, detailed my problem and said that I had done what their manual said. The first response, I get is read the manual when it is just a page long(for the specific issue I was facing).

Ultimately, it was boiling down to a wrong flag attached to the command that was listed on the official website that was not solving my problem.

Support forums kind of suck all over. I'd imagine the systemd free distros are more elitest than the norm. Also jeeze, just meming on the internet, no need to "Those people" me sheesh.

Pick the tool without ads in your way then lol I'm not gatekeeping, simply saying get gud

Bruh, saying "get gud" to someone incapable of doing so doesn't make you cool, it makes you an unempathetic asshole, and a bad software developer.
