I love this comment. I love it because even though I don’t know what wayland is, I gather by context it’s popular, and has something to do with output of your display.

And it’s popular, but it doesn’t work FOR YOU.

And you have to point out that just because something works for others, doesn’t mean it works for everybody.

I’m pretty unskilled when it comes to linux, but I’ve noticed linux users fall into one of two groups.

First, the group who genuinely want to help you. They may not KNOW the exact answer, because they don’t know your exact hardware, but they try to help with common problems.

The other group takes it as a personal insult if you’re having problems in linux that you don’t know how to solve. Like linux is part of their personality, and they think linux is perfect without the ability to have problems. Therefore the guy asking for help is just trying to insult linux, and therefore themselves. They then respond with hostility and personal insults about how it’s your problem.

Yeah. It IS my problem. Can ya figure out what I’m doing wrong?

But they don’t see it that way. In their eyes, linux is perfect, and you’re an asshole for saying you have an issue.

So what I’m saying is, I love how you already know you need to state upfront you KNOW it works for others, but not for you.
