So there are two points:
Still point 2 does not invalidate point 1.
I've had to deal with toxic ubuntu, debian, arch, nixos, rust, java, python, ... communities. The ones that piss me off the most are linux communities that treat newcomers like gutter-filth, refuse to endorse GUIs, good documentation, and just a generally better newcomer experience, then wonder why there's no "year of the linux desktop". I hate those gatekeepers with a passion. "If you use Linux, you must learn to use the command line", no how about you fuck off to whatever CLI cave you came from and learn to be a productive member of the community?
As I said, I get it. But again, writing an angry bug report, demanding a new feature be implemented, writing a tirade about "how bad opensource software is" or whatever? Nah. Not OK
Sad but true.
