The prevalence of attitudes like this in the Linux community is why the year of the Linux desktop will never come.

Imagine if your brand new refrigerator, by default, would leak toxic refrigerant into your kitchen unless you adjusted a valve just so. This fact is not called out prominently in the manual, but if you read the fine print in the manufacturer's assembly instructions and have a working knowledge of how a refrigerator operates, you can maybe infer that this valve must be adjusted after purchase to prevent leakage. You go on their support forum to try to figure out why your brand new refrigerator is emitting toxic refrigerant, and you're essentially called an idiot and told you don't have "basic refrigerator hygiene."

People don't want to become refrigerator mechanics. They want cold food.
