    I think if he had somebody better to onboard him, he’d have a better experience.

    In classic manchild fashion, you people always blame the user instead of the technology. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that switching to Linux is not going to be without issues for anyone, let alone the average computer user.

    Instead of taking the opportunity to be a loser by gatekeeping, we should be saying “Yeah, the Linux ecosystem still has a long way to go. What makes it better is that it’s free software. You now get to be a part of the community making it better and get to see for yourself where we are.”

    None of you will say that though because you’re too stuck in your ways. It makes me sick, but I’m glad I’m not one of you.

      Youre right. Its actually a good chance for the linux community to clean up long standing bugs and work out a better way to combat the misinfo new users face when onboarding. I hangout in a few noobie linux spaces and the suggestions they find are insane sometimes. Its common to see people suggest someone buy an entirely new GPU to fix an issue thats unrelated. Or switch distro to fix a minor issue. These make linux look so bad because no one should have to switch GPU to not have their screen flicker or have to switch distro to have Bluetooth work.

      The l4d2 bug would happen on every linux distro when someone tries to run as native.

      This video might shine some light on these issues and get valve to remove the native linux version of l4d2 since its completely broken.
