As a fellow Linux user I entirely agree. I stay off the forums as much as possible. My latest crime was uploading a tutorial on how to update the bios on certain laptop models. Got fucking roasted, even on lemmy.

For some reason Linux forums are like stack exchange; an extremely toxic neckbeard pissing match.

Oh shit, that sounds extremely helpful, why did they roast you?

I've been using Linux since Ubuntu 8.10 iirc, and I'm still a fucking moron at dealing with Linux so I'm always thankful for people like you.

I might have been very lucky. I've barely seen anything negative than when people post factually incorrect or potentially dangerous/bricking stuff.

Though, I do keep a healthy distance from the Ubuntu and Arch forums.
