Crashout incoming:
Online "Linux users" deserve all the hate they receive, and much more. I hate these fuckers with a passion. These fuckers do nothing but jerk themselves off over the distro they use and the shitty open source software they run on top of it. They are either unemployed, or work in IT, so they have the time or knowledge to make these shitty softwares actually work and look upon everyone with disdain for having a job. If you ever ask for help, you will only receive help from the unemployed faction and not the knowledgeable faction. They will point you towards using a shitty broken project instead of one that actually works, because it probably had a single feature that they care about that the other didn't at some point. You can't install it for shit. The documentation is from many versions ago and even the getting started section doesn't work anymore. It is entirely made to be used by the 3 people developing it. They don't have a settings menu but a conf file that they don't have a complete list of options for at any point in their docs. No one uses it. Even fewer people have ever asked for help using it, leading to chatgpt not being able to help you even install it.
And if you try to get those same people to help you, they don't. They have nothing but chatgpt advice for you and your stuck with your shitty broken install. They all glaze their broken softwares with 15 total users that take 10 hours and 15 years of unemployment experience to install and then waddle around acting like they are smarter than all the normies for choosing this way. This same experience has happened to me like 4 times with different Linux communities each time and every time it's a complete waste of time for me and when I get it barely working I'm asking if it was worth it.
There are good open source projects that just work. Stremio is amazing. Newpipe is amazing. GrapheneOS is amazing. But there's so many open source projects that are made entirely to be used by the developer themselves and other people using it are an afterthought. FFS the thing I'm trying to make work now doesn't even have release binaries. I'm trying to fucking install something on a headless Linux box and they don't even have compiled binaries on their github. Their fucking documentation has instructions to download and check signatures and they supposedly have a mirror that hosts binaries but the link is broken. Complete unusable dogshit.
