Not sure if the replier was only specifically talking to you. I don’t like Linux [on the desktop]. Most responses in geekier online communities do seem to be smug and/or assume you don’t know things.
That was happening in this thread too outside of you.
For reference, I too have spent a decent amount of time with Lubuntu. I doubt I’ll switch from Mac for foreseeable future.
I've had too many experiences with "Haha linux on desktop bad nerd haha" people, and let it get to me. I apologize.
