That the Linux community is elitist and will treat you like the issues you have are always your fault no matter what. If I used a niche distro, people would tell me I should’ve gone with a more mainstream one. You literally can’t win.
Also if the most major distros are still bad also, then why the heck would anyone switch? lol.
Yes there are some elitist users but what I've stated has nothing to do with elitism, it's just the way things are. Do your research and you can see for yourself how bad Ubuntu is. And you do have a point about niche distros as well.
Unfortunately you can't just dive into Linux blindly by choosing a random distro to run on random hardware, you'll likely not have a good time. You need to do your research and talk to a veteran user first for advice.
I have used Linux on and off for 20 years my friend. I am the veteran user. I’m just capable of seeing it from a newcomers eyes.
Yes and do you really expect a non-tech-savvy newbie to suddenly download and switch to Linux? That's never gonna happen, unless they're the really curious and determined type, the kind who loves to tinker/break/fix.
Therefore it falls upon veterans like us to guide the newbies so they have a smooth transaction and don't fall down the wrong path.
