The Linux Community is Killing Linux

...

Of course we have absolutely no idea who that responder was and if he was an "IT professional" or even a "Linux pro". All we know is that the new Linux user thought he was one. It could even have been someone who sees it as his purpose to insult newbies in the name of Linux to discourage them from taking up Linux.

We also have no idea what and how he asked the question. Eg." Linux is a complete disaster. I have been trying Linux for the last hour and it is clear that Linux will never be able to compete with Windows. How in the world can i do anything when all I get in front of me is a blank black screen with a white login: in the top left corner?" If that was how he asked his question he deserved everything he got, and I have seen people, Linux newbies, ask questions like that.

On the other hand I have also seen people who really can help with Linux snap at some newbie for asking a perfectly reasonable question. ( And I have seen far more people actually try to help them).

Ie, this article contains too little information to come to any conclusion.

Yes, some people are buttholes, ( and even more are buttholes some of the time), but that is true in all aspects of life, including driving cars. (The number of people who honk at cars with huge L plates on the back of the car, or cut them off is also rediculous)
