    Let me firstly say that I 100% agree with all of the above. And secondly, I don’t work in tech.

    But I think most of the frustration from the grey beards is possibly because they’re burnt out. They’ve probably been answering the same questions their entire life. And there comes a point when the actual answer becomes, RTFM.

    I don’t agree it’s an appropriate response. The mere fact that the acronym has profanity in it suggests it’s an aggressive response.

    I’ve been on forums before where, instead of saying “RTFM”, someone had just linked me to the appropriate man page… Essentially the same message, but far more helpful and a much less insulting.

    In my opinion it’s not wrong to tell someone to read the manual, especially if the answer is in it, but it’s how you say it that matters.

    I cannot answer definitively, but it’s highly unlikely that windows could access any data from your Linux partition. That said, if you’re that concerned about the potential for this to happen, perhaps your shouldn’t use windows at all. This is coming from a PC gamer who uses Linux exclusively.

    Well, I use Void Linux, Fedora, and NetBSD. All for different purposes. I just love the freedom to modify my system 'till my heart’s content. I’m generally a tiling WM (sdorfehs) on laptops and openbox/lxde on desktop.

    I appreciate minimal clean code.
