Insulting people will only get you more downvotes. You don't have to be so rude.
Also:
Was anything before "Edit:" rude? Should I expect that everyone in the Linux community will reply to genuine barriers with contempt and downvotes? Because that's what you're saying of the reply to my original post.
You're saying I would only get "more" downvotes for being rude, hence you expect some downvotes on a genuine list of concerns no matter what.
What a community! 🙄
