I never said I, nor do I, expect shit from anyone. I don’t blame people for not knowing how it works. This is exactly why I teach people with patience and understanding. Your assuming a lot of things about my stance based of your image of certain linux people. Please read what people actually say, thank you.
PS.
People know I do computer stuff.
They ask me how to get away from microsoft.
I help them install mint.

Mint breaks because linux always does (I love it, but it’s just true)
They expect me to fix it, so I usually just start by teaching them how to fix things in the terminal.
It’s just responsible linux ownership. I don’t understand why it’s different then knowing how to use a taskmanager gui in windows.
Can we please stop always pretending that people doing more then checking their email will be fine with linux without even touching a terminal. It’s just a lie we try and pedal to convince people to switch. It’s honestly kind of immoral tbh. It’s not fair the terminal is needed and I do love that teams are taking the initiative to make it accessable, but goddamn! Let’s stop lying about linux not being a bit finicky and sometimes requiring 1 or 2 lines of terminal code occassionally to work fine.
PPS.
There is a reason we teach people to change a flat tire if they own a car, and noone is yelling about that being “the reason noone wants a car”.
