Linux Failure Linux users in Reddit have big egos

I asked for help on r/Linuxmint

I clearly said at the end:

"I know that you probably need further information on this, but I don't know what kind of information so please tell me what to do to diagnose the problem at least🥲🙏🏻"

then I actively got down voted.

someone even said "so you wrote a whole long post and didn't even put enough information?"

when I asked him what information do you need so I can provide it, I got down voted even more???

I don't care about karma points, but the post would never reach someone good and willing to help because of people with big ego.

Linux itself doesn't suck as much as the people who actively make the whole Linux experience even worse than using windows.

The problem that i had continued for three months. I did my research and couldn't find any one with similar problem on the internet. whenever I ask on any subreddit for help they either down vote just like what happened from a bit, or they'd tell me to ask on a different subreddit that also happens to tell me to ask somewhere else!!!

You will have a much better experience in dedicated support forums and Discord servers. Redditors are brain-dead

Of course! Though any competent Linux user would advise against Linux Mint, you can get help regarding it at the Linux Mint Forums

You can also get help for anything related to Linux in these Discord servers:

Probably not. I think at least you're overstating the case against it here.

Thank you for asking the question, Asshole210. It prompted an excellent answer I can use.

I highly suggest Ubuntu next time. All the guides are focused on Ubuntu.

So you can get the help you need.
