Linux users to Windows users with a question: "you can solve that by switching to Linux"

Linux users to that same user when they switch to Linux and have a question: "why the fuck do you wanna do that? Go back to Windows."

Almost always, Linux users try to help. However if someone comes over and wants to do things like Windows instead of learning how the new system works, they probably won't help them with that.

It's a new system. It's going to work differently. You have to be willing to learn and adapt to it, just as you had to do when learning Windows. No one is going to spend time helping you contort Linux to work like Windows when the solution is simple but you just have to be willing to learn it.

why the fuck do you wanna do that? Go back to Windows.

Yeah that is basically my concern. However I figure I can always just buy a Windows licence if it doesn't work out.
