People can help you, but there is a way to ask, and learning how to ask is part of learning the OS. We are fascinated by problems actually.
The problem is that people come and say things like “I tried to setup a fleegbat server and it doesn’t work!” and so for the helper it becomes a process of pulling the information out of the asker in a long and painful process of interaction and we just move on. Users who say things like “here is the error message I’m getting when I try to start up my fleegbo server, anyone understand this?” get way better help.
Those who really want to learn it come to understand these things, those who just want to do something neat and not work their ass off will complain that it’s too hard.
Those who do the work are rewarded in many ways. I drove a dump truck ten years ago, now I make twice what I used to, working with people who aren’t racist sacks of shit. They were my motivator to learn, I was tired of being among pigs every day.
Crimewave. Many have not heard of it. It’s problematic in parts.
