If you see this meme and think "well actually, I had a really difficult time last time I tried to install Linux" - did you ask for help? That's what the internet is for.

I did, and the feedback told me to RTFM and LMGTFY.

I plan to install Linux mint on my laptop when I get time. I'm sure Linux is ready, never really doubted that, but I wonder if the Linux community is ready.

In fairness, the community has plenty of assholes. However, I think there's something to be said about electronic literacy and how a lot of people expect to have their hand held through every process.

And wait 3-5 business days for whatever menial problem

It's almost like people have gotten really used to instant gratification and it's not reasonable. A certain amount of figuring it out should be expected.

Being able to work is not "instant gratification". People need it to be able to afford to live, and often in doing jobs that are directly essential for the life or quality of life of others. Incredibly out of touch take imo

It's become that ubiquitous because there's an expectation of instant gratification.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
