Linux systemd dev says open source is 'SICK', kernel community 'awful'

Just Enough

You missed the usual response offered when a user wants to do something that the system either can't do, does badly, or does in the most complex way possible.

Noob: "I can't get the OS to do x, even though it claims it does."

Forum: "LOL you idiot, why do you want to do x? Your reasons for doing x must be invalid. The problem is you, not the OS."

Noob: "I have very good reasons for doing x, I only want it to do it properly."

Forum: "WRONG! You should do y, and we're not telling you how to do that either. We know better than you what your needs are. The problem is you."

Noob: "So why does it claim to do x, when it can't?"

Forum: "Are you still here?"
