I've noticed some posters in these communities have that toxic attitude of superiority and exclusivity--they simultaneously want people to use Linux, but also take pride in their "chops" and look down on people who don't know as much. It's along the same lines as those rude or hostile responses to more basic questions. I haven't seen it as much here on Lemmy, fortunately.
It’s a bell curve. Believe me, after spending my entire work day doing Linux shit as a SRE/Devop/cloud engineer over the last 12 years of my career, the absolute last fucking thing I want to do when I stop working is fiddle with one more goddamn Linux issue before launching a game. True elites don’t give a fuck and just want to play the damn game. You can spot a poser the second they take it too seriously and bitch you out for running vanilla mint or whatever
