- kiallmacinnes 8y agoI don't even know what to make of this comment. Nobody is forcing you to interact with those "new users", if you don't like them, ignore them. Frankly, if everyone had your attitude, your Linux community will be dead and gone in a few short years as time progresses, and your old users pass away. I've been a Linux user for a long time, I and many other long time Linux users do not share this persons opinions. New Linux users, keep coming, the vast majority of us are not elitist.
