More or less is what I was saying.

Now imagine if you went to a mechanic to have your car fixed and they say “Just read the fucking manual and don’t waste my time”. What are you going to do?

I said that you should pay the professional instead.

Even home appliances don’t come with the full spec technical manual.

Depends on what you buy there is more or less doc, things I often read is what to not do to not break it and how to get it ready and “running” correctly, as I would do with a microwave or to put air on my car wheels (I always open the book to read the correct values of air bar pressure for the wheels).

inner workings of Linux is not a priority

Most Windows users neither want to know the inner working of Windows, they pay experts to fix issues, or they click .exe files.

Just because you know how Linux works does not mean everyone should know how Linux works.

I didn’t say that, I said that they need to get used how Linux works, because most people are used to Windows, and they all expect Linux to work like a Windows. But I know that I know a lot about Linux without asking anyone, just reading wiki, docs, git projects… some blogs or even YouTube videos. And now, as experienced user for more than 10 years with Linux distros, all this is really easy, I often do pretty amazing stuff as hobby at home and all that by reading stuff on internet how to do it. Thanks to my skill of reading docs, I am working with people with university degrees with the same salary/benefits as me, but I do not have studies more than the mandatory. If you are not into computers, you can keep using Windows or try to learn how Linux works to get used to it. The problem is the marketing, I’m sure all of us had a Windows machine much before we touched a Linux, rarely a person starts using their first computer with a Linux distro.

Summary: Expect a Linux guru to tell you to read the documentation as a car mechanic would tell you to do the engineering degree to fix your car.

If you have someone close to you that knows what happens to your car, and they tell you how to fix it, and it works, congratulations, the same would happen if you need to fix your printer drivers. But that person won’t tell you how to fix your car motor engine (I mean more complex component), the same happens with the Linux guru.

🫤 Sorry but I don’t really see the problem here more than the capitalism system that we have. Microsoft will never allow Linux to be popular, that’s why 99% of computers comes with Windows, the money rules the world.
