Let's put that in a way that isn't so off putting. It's the duty of those in the know help those who are not when possible.

    No it’s not. There is no duty to anyone. Go to a library or book store and read what you want to learn.

    Ah, the RTFM argument. So you didn't go to school, did you? You picked up a book and just started educating yourself?

    I did and after entering the field I had chosen after graduation, I quickly left. It wasn’t for me. What paid for school, however, was fixing computers, electronic word processors, and building and selling PC’s. Bought an Apollo system to learn Domain Aegis UNIX on and checked out every book on UNIX I could get my hands on. When Linux arrived, I got in at Linux 0.99pl13. I got a job and paid to continue my education. So yeah. When I started there wasn’t a community of enablers.

    Save it for the publishers dawg just stop being so hostile and negative about something that’s genuinely a good thing.

    Gamer's coming to Linux and messing up all the forums and chats with their pleas to make their Windows games work is NOT a good thing.

    • It promotes non open source software.
    • They complain about their games, when the problem is the software wasn't written for Linux. Complain to the makers and the makers of Wine and Proton. ANY issues are not Linux issues. Linux is perfect.

    I do not want to live in such a world. Helping others, especially when it is at little to no cost to you should be common sense to everyone.

    I will strive towards making the world such a place, and I implore everyone, including you, to make the world a better place for everyone - including you.

    If what you've chosen to learn could help someone right in front of you, and they're asking for help, you do not feel compelled to help them? I doubt that.

    Depends on the topic. If enlightening them means I am enabling them to harm themselves, then no. Helping people waste time gaming and draw even more Steam users and their Windows crapware games towards tainting the purity of Linux is harming them and Linux, so no. No helping that.

    There are big issues with the modern video games industry. Like a lot of software they deny user's computing freedoms, and as such facilitate designs to repeatedly make money using psychology tricks. However, to reject video games as a waste of time goes to show how one can not know what they're missing.

    Video games are a peak of higher-functioning life: play. A structured form of play which can go beyond physical games. Life is poorer without the immergent stories of a fantasy world (Dwarf Fortress) or competing in a consequence-free violence of street-fighting (Street Fighter).
