And may the gods help you if you ask a noobish question related to Linux on some distros’ forums or reddit.
Q: How do I frob the qux in the GUI?
A1: only morons frob the qux, you need to fleem the flarb and you’d know this if you read the wiki
A2: read the wiki. No I’m not going to link to it out of principle, do it yourself
A3: only morons use the GUI, use the terminal!
A4: [unrelated answer involving hammers and plankton]
A5: everybody should know how to frob the qux you fuckin noob
Ok it’s not quite this bad anymore and I’m being hyperbolic, but reality isn’t too far from this either. It’s like people looked at Linus’ abusive rants and went “yes this is exactly how we should behave as a community”

Really, if people understood how to use hammers and plankton properly, we wouldn’t even need computers.
