CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@martinvermeer @sinituulia So ChatGPT is autistic?

She could have perhaps organized her response in neatly structured numbered bullet lists with paragraphs and offer some options which other things the guy could ask afterwards.

@wthinker @Linux_in_a_Bit The fact that Linux happens to work for one person (you) in one specific situation (your use scenario) doesn't imply Linux is reliable.

The fact that Linux fails for one person (me) in one use scenario (mine) implies that Linux is unreliable.

@heri @Linux_in_a_Bit The fact that 1 out of 500 Linux distros happened to work as expected for short time ("recently") in your particular scenario doesn't help the other users for which it doesn't work.

A product is reliable when it works reliable for everyone in any scenario, not just for one person in one scenario.

@Linux_in_a_Bit I think this is called verbal abuse and Linux has a problem with bad management - "a fish starts stinking from the head".

RTFM means Read The Fucking Manual, which is a triple verbal abuse:
1) Ordering, which is verbal abuse (older version of Wikipedia: Verbal abuse)
2) The word "fucking", which is a curse word
3) Abusive anger. The phrase obviously conveys anger. Anger is an emotion which belongs to a situation where someone behaves unfair. But the user asking for help does not behave unfair.

Also another problem is that Linux is, in my experience, simply unreliable. When I boot up my computer, sometimes:
1) X doesn't come up, stays in text mode
2) X comes up with the screen at wrong smaller resolution and the picture is in one corner of the screen
3) Mouse doesn't work
4) Keyboard doesn't work
5) Keyboard has wrong repetition rate
6) When inserting a USB peripheral, USB hard disk disconnects and the system crashes
7) Manpages are missing important information
Fails to update between major versions with guarantee of functionality
9) System freezes to a grinding halt instead of managing the RAM resource when RAM demand from programs exceeds RAM size
10) Sound doesn't work

Also I would say 80% of solutions from Google don't work and 40% of them don't work and screw up your system and don't contain information how to reverse the changes after you did them and realized they don't work.

Asking "Have you tried Google?" is like a car mechanic asking a customer "have you tried unauthorized, possibly irreversibly damaging tampering with your engine according to the advice of a random, likely incompetent, bystander?"
