The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    RTFM is not a working formula. Because most people skip reading the manual for one simple reason, the manual is hard to read.

    I remember my early arch days when asking a question about an issue I’m having was always met with a wikipage I already read but did not understand.

    Rather than pushing for a magic manual, the best is to provide sane default or point to tutorials.
