A/B testing images is fun for me... don't ask me why. I don't know either.

Me: don't talk to me ever again
Him: oh, I will make sure not to talk to you

Do people not get it? When I say "don't talk to me", the next word I expect from you is....
Nothing. I don't expect nor want you to say anything else. Your sign that you read, understood, acknowledged and respecting my demand is you not saying anything at all.
It might be hard to wrap your big brain around it, but it's that easy. Just don't talk.

>simple things
Because changing your Linux kernel can never fuck up with say your drivers, or literally the hundreds of others things in your system, cause you know... it's THE FUCKING KERNEL, that connects to everything.

Unless you actually did troubleshooting, unless you actually have proof the issue is coming from the kernel, don't put a noob to mess with it.
He won't know what he did. He won't know how to change it back. He won't know if he needs to do it again after a reinstall. And he definitely won't know what the consequences are.

Distro devs spend a decent amount of time to choose and test the default kernel, to make sure it works out of the box for everyone. Why the fuck would you insist so fucking hard for a beginner to mess around with it when someone has an undiagnosed problem?

And have you considered for a split second, what if you're "solution" is wrong? What if it fixes nothing? What then? Are you gonna make him change pulseaudio to pipewire? What other "simple things" are you gonna have him change on a whim, without a fucking care in the world about what state that might leave his OS in?

I swear, my only conclusion is that you're a troll, that enjoys seeing beginners brick their own Linux installs out of ignorance.

"You just have to put some commands in the terminal guy, it's just as easy as Windows, I swear".

Jesus. Fucking. Christ..... No. No no no.
Maybe you've completely lost contact with reality in your "muh open source" echo chamber. Take it from someone who still experiences contact with the dreaded Microsoft Windows... NO PART of Linux install or maintenance comes close to the Windows experience.

This is the second time this week I felt tempted to go back to Windows, not because of Linux giving me problems, but because I SWEAR TO GOD THE COMMUNITY IS SO BAD SOMETIMES.

I've been using Linux for years now. I love using Linux. I would love that more people used Linux.

You know what I don't do though? I DON'T TRY TO FORCE PEOPLE INTO USING LINUX, OR HOW TO USE LINUX!
I don't push beginners into doing stuff they certainly don't understand.

Stop fucking being like this.

For fucks sake.... I swear... Linux/open-source advocates are complete dicks.

When you encounter a FUCKING NOOB, don't send them down rabbit holes. Their default distro kernel IS NOT gonna be the main cause of their issue.

Morons like you are what drives people away from Linux and open source software.
