True but people need to know to look to the documentation, it’s not something we’re born with. People learn to ride a bike, to drive a car, use their TV, etc without reading much documentation. We should educate people on how to figure things out rather than shame them for not knowing as much as you.

Don’t assume everyone can learn as easily as you can or has a background that would facilitate their grasping of the topic. Here you are casually saying “just read the man page” and referencing gcc, it would take my mom a week of education to get to the point where she’d be able to understand what gcc even is and why it has a man page.

And if you don’t want to help them, ignore the noobs, don’t push them away.

Oh ya for sure

You can watch videos of people shooting them, many seem to work quite well.

DJB is a genius

Ya, sucks when Tailwind goes out of style and now have to learn CSS again.

You keep my init system (and resolver, and timekeeper, and task scheduler, and container manager, and …) out your f**king mouth!

NixOS sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.

ls is bloat, real Linux users just need echo.

echo *

Wow nice one! I don’t think anyone outside of Gentoo or LFS would even go there.

This deserves some sort of funniest Linux problem award.
