"If it's not obvious to them, it's not obvious.
A computer is a means to an end. The person you're helping probably cares mostly about the end. This is reasonable."

@OrionKidder We cannot afford to not be kind, not just for the sake of Linux, but for the sake of humanity. Being kind, is costly, and requires a lot more mental effort than just telling people to read manuals, but it is a required skill if we want to change the world for the better. Blockading people out of the needed skills they are going to learn the easy way or the hard way helps no one, least of all, them. Help them learn, and help them fix what they broke, because we were like them, and cannot forget the kindness that we needed then, too!

@OrionKidder only reason I'm not switching to Linux is that I need adobe softwares for work. :(
