This is probably the most relevant piece of advice written online.Look after your knees and your back!
Far before my time in Debian, but Debian and a few other distros were exactly like that, if you thought Linux was bad then you clearly never talked to a UNIX, Novell, or a VAX admin. They all had the same answer for a documentation request: Read the code.Hi
Mainly this is about the "RTFM" culture that used to surround the mid to late1990's, especially with hardened vets, and how the intolerance has pervaded to newcomers still.
Yeah Debian in the late 90's was unwelcoming, and I hoped it would now be more enlightened, but sadly not.
So I guess this is about learning not to hope for better in the future, because I naively did back then.
Most software companies and distributions have gotten much much better.
