"But, a Raspberry Pi isn't supposed to be a replacement for your desktop; it is meant as a device for experimentation."

"why couldn't you read the self-contradicting docs and pick the right option?" (paraphrased)

"just because you don't know how to follow the instructions, doesn't make the OS bad."

" By now, you should see that years of experience != knowing how to use things."

"Yeah. Maybe just stop using Linux. You'll never be happy with it anyway. Most its-never-my-fault people aren't."

This has been my experience with the Linux community for 26 years.

Half those aren't even remotely harsh. Saying the raspberry pi wasn't designed to be mained is totally reasonable, what possible objection do you have to somebody saying that?

		That my complaints trying to install software have absolutely nothing to do with it being a Raspberry Pi and the experience is identical on any Linux machine. > Half those aren't even remotely harsh. ....and the fact that people consider this to be the case is more evidence of the Linux community's hostility. Linux is like Rick and Morty: I don't mind it, but I never want to be associated with its fans.
