npub1r06c9x65parclp3kdlcdlylhcwfg3jjwfyqxt2wgweaul0s5f43s8cymdv (npub1r06…ymdv) the only mistake they made is to use a DIY type distribution like Gentoo. or possibly to use Linux at all. there is a culture among techies and his only mistake is that he's acting like a perfectly normal consumer. people talk about products in this way all the time. most humans on the planet never encounter the people who make the things they use, and most products are made by paid employees, not enthusiasts. it requires a big change of mindset to participate in the Linux ecosystem and culture. the way Linux distributions and apps market themselves sends every signal that this is a consumer product and should be treated as such, but this is misleading, which is a pet peeve i have. don't lead people on with such messaging and then get angry with them when they behave like customers.
