The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    I understand the impetus behind RTFM - It happens when the user failed to do basic troubleshooting and expects others to do their thinking. Being blown off doesn’t feel great, but other people’s time is valuable, and in the end your system is your own responsibility.

      Don’t go onto forums that are specifically to help people if you don’t have the time then. Or at the very least don’t link the whole 10000 word manual and give me a specific place to look because I promise if I have overcome my anxiety of looking stupid enough to post on the forum I have checked the manual multiple times.
