It feels as though the open source community (I'm talking about the Linux Desktop space here) is being pulled in two different directions at the same time. On one hand, there's a strong desire to have a closer to the metal experience, allowing more veteran users to quickly adapt and modify the software to how they see fit. On the other hand, there's a push to bring new users in and create a more beginner friendly environment. Frequently these two objectives clash with each other, especially when trying to find solutions for common problems. It's pretty common to see senior members complaining that the user is at fault for not reading the appropriate doc/guide (not to say the user is totally absolved from reading them), or seeking an "easier" solution that doesn't involve applying advanced terminal commands to people who have rarely used one before. After using Debian based distros for a while, I switched to Arch. Installing wasn't too bad except for a few weird hiccups. The amount of looping from the help forums to the Arch Wiki, which doesn't contain your issue, would make your head spin.
