I find the community can be toxic at times; instead of helping newcomers or treating each other nicely, the community can be toxic and alienate the people they want to use Linux.
This is entirely valid and unfortunate.
Microsoft "community" is a bunch of salarymen who's job is to try to empty your pocket and boost the company profits at your expenses. Linux community is people helping you for free.
Straw man and whataboutism at play.
I never made any claims about Microsoft Community. My only complaint was that the Linux community can be toxic at times.
You're attempting to misrepresent the argument with whataboutism while not refuting anything I said.
