    Truth.

    I try linux probably 2 times per year, every year, and at least hop between 5+ distros. Every time I run into issues, I ask the community, and I am completely shit on.

    “Go back to microsoft you dumb fuck”. Like ok. Didn’t realize a distro completely nuking itself by me clicking update in the software manager was a me problem, but sure.

    Every time you comment something like this, nice people come in and tell you how the Linux community is so accepting, followed by 30 comments telling you to kill yourself lmao.

      Your problem is you didn’t run some arbitrary command first that’s only explained on a random blog not indexed by Google. Or you used the wrong distro and should have used X which has two other secret commands no one will tell you about, but once you spend 6 months learning the Linux kernel it all makes sense.

        But if you copy/paste random commands from the internet and it breaks your distro you’re stupid.

        But I’m not gonna tell you how to do it via GUI. So here, copy this terminal command.
