Things I've encountered frequently: 1. "I need to do X in Linux." Web search for software. 2. Try to install it. Find out I need Gnome 3.44 and I'm not running Gnome at all. 3. Find something else. This doesn't seen Gnome. 4. I try to install it. Wait, I need a newer version of a library. 5. I grab the latest version of that library. Wait, idiot, that version is TOO NEW! 6. So I find the exact version and install it and oh son of a cow now everything is broken. And at each step there's a different sub-community telling me I'm a complete idiot. ("Why don't you use Gnome?" "Why don't you use package manager X?" "Why the fuck are you using that package manager???!")
