We just want you to read the manual - we did. Summarizing knowledge to people that can't be bothered to read the manual is not a good use of my time. Please don't take that as mean spirited, it's just a fact. "Giving back" to the open source world in my case is done by committing code and documentation, not free support. So when you hear "go read the manual" or RTFM - we aren't insulting you or being jerks. We genuinely want you to better yourself and acquire education, and are pointing you in the right direction to do so.

If that's the attitude you have (which I don't think is necessarily wrong), than that's fine. But people aren't going to adopt linux if that's the case. Frankly: The manual sucks. If mass adoption isn't your goal, then great, nothing more to discuss here. But the point of the conversation is comparing linux to win10. I've never used win10, but from what I understand it doesn't require you spend hours pouring over man pages, so there's a lot of friction to transition from win10 to linux.
