Buddy, they literally do not know that choice exists

Yeah, because people like this author keep repeating it.

The Linux community has a reputation for being filled with condescending dickheads

Yet another annoying myth. Look, I am saying it with a bit of vitrol here, but its basically to the universe as the author (as far as I know) isn't here.

Could I be a bit nicer? I suppose, but they were so wrong, and using strong words like "exhausting" to describe a practice they don't even have to do is annoying.

I have gone back and read forums, from 10 to 15 years ago, just because I keep hearing: linux is so condescending and rude, and it wasn't the way I remembered it, so I went to see. And guess what? Nothing but nice and friendly people trying to help each other.

It gets old fast.
