If you’re the kind of helpless person who has to be spoon fed answers, then perhaps Linux or FOSS isn’t for you, and other alternatives exist that have professional support staffs.

you're the exact kind of person making FOSS look bad to the majority of people. Since you don't seem to realize, I run the programming.dev instance. I most likely have been working in tech longer than you. This kind of attitude you have towards "people should just learn everything about every piece of software they use" is why people like you shouldn't be near open source software at all. You make it fucking impossible for people like me to get anyone to even try FOSS because all they remember are morons like you saying "just figure it out". I'm not going to teach my mother in law what a fucking flatpak is and there is absofuckinglutely no way that she is going to be able to google it and figure it out. It has nothing to do with learned helplessness. It has to do with the fact that she's a painter, not a tech guru, and gatekeeping FOSS by purposefully making it hard to use is such an idiotic thing I have no clue how you could even defend it. Your actions make big tech companies become more entrenched in people's lives. It is by your hand that people don't want to use things like Firefox.
