Alternatively, it comes off as a person who has tried this in earnest numerous times and is exhausted by people who assume that they haven't given things a genuine shot.
And there are few things more grating than a tech person assuming the other person doesn't know what they are doing in earnest just because they were short with you from having already explained it elsewhere, numerous times over time, to the same result of what is, effectively, tone policing. "You didn't phrase this in a technical manner thus I assume you know jack shit." Not far off from sea-lioning really.
You're bringing a lot of personal momentum to your responses obviously. My point was clear, state specific issues to allow the potential for specific answers. If you're moving in good faith, that's the approach.
The perspective here is one of someone resistant to change, blaming FOSS as an easier scapegoat. Always simplest to blame the tool over the operator... And often, that "dumbshit, broken printer that won't print!!!" Just wasnt plugged in.
Your rebuttal is borked.
