Linux SUX. It suxc because you CANNOT get help. Community is full of people rehashing severely dated advice. with all the hacking you really want to direct me to a 3 year old article on some forum no less? Every single problem i have has no definite solution and there is no place to look. may as well throw a rock at the library and enter whatever it lands on in the terminal. Do about as much good as anything in the thousands of forums that have threads ending in that didnt work. blank replies.

You just CANNOT get any sort of reliable help. I posted here and i got no replies. The issue Im asking for help with is all over Google. Whole community just throws their hands up and leaves you on your own. Manpages assume you have knowledge or someone helping you. no where on this page: https://www.gnupg.org/gph/de/manual/r1023.html
does it even address the problem Im having. THAT is the problem with linux. A bunch of *&^%$^%*$% gloating over themselves that they use an OS that is so superior to Windows or OSX, yet so complicated you NEED a computer science degree to update a freaking package. Linux wrongly assumes that it is working and manpages and a forum are all you need. As long as it is like this Linux will continue to suck and be the bastion of neckbearded basement dwellers whose lives are devoid of human interaction as to allow them the time to SOLVE linux. I dont need photoshop and i dont play games on PC. Just trying to setup a usable linux computer and have been stumped. Nothing about linux is easy. I know you guys wont like what im saying but its true. you know it and i know it thats why this free os that is "better than windows" has less than 1% of computer market. I imagine that building a car from scratch is easier and one could find way more accurate information, regardless of make model or country of origin. Im done linux sux.

Welcome to LQ! We'd very much like to help, but your current thread makes that difficult. Please visit http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...#faq_lqwelcome for some additional information on how you can help us help you. If you have any questions or need additional clarification, just let us know.

My 1st post has more details and i state that i wcan provide terminal output if needed. But the fact that you didnt answer my question and directed me to some FAQ is part of the problem. Im not getting help. Im getting directed to articles with old irrelevant information. If linux is so awesome.... why is it so difficult to get an answer to a question that i am not the first to have asked? what about all the people who need help with the same issue who asked BEFORE me? did they get help? I doubt it. if they did i could read about it in the thread. I have STFW. thats what got me here.

Uhm, you posted your question just a couple of hours before the top post in this thread. A bit more patience please? Keep in mind that our participants are located all over the world, in all different time zones.

Sure I'll be patient. Its just that I keep seeing links on google that say this has been ongoing since 2012. I can be patient but at what point is the "community" just letting this stuff go. Its like mine works soooooo i dont care. I got into linux cause i read it was all community and you could get help blah blah blah. Linux community is great until you have a problem. Thats when you see the "real" linux community. the one that tells you everything other than real solutions to ongoing problems. are you guys all like 60+? Im sorry i wasnt born yet when unix was new. It sucks that you have to have 20 yeras of programming experience to be good with linux. no wonder it has such low adoption. old guys keeping it for themselves. i guess when the old guard dies linux will hopefully die with them. thanks for all the help/suggestions. everything is working fine now!

All that for an expired spotify gpg key?

Is William trying to goat us on?

Hi william_goat...

I understand you're upset but speaking these kind of words tends to just upset others and produces nothing. I'm one who knows, I've been down that road myself many times in the past.

You haven't been here that long but there are quite a number of people here who spend a lot of hours here sharing with people what they do know and what they've learned, free of charge. This is one of the unique aspects about Linux, while the OS itself is free, most distributions do not provide technical support, so forums are set up so that users can help users. Because of that, you get all kinds of skill levels and abilities. No one person knows everything, except God.

No doubt Linux and Linux software has some improving to do in many areas but please try to keep in mind that a lot of the work, from my understanding, is done on a amateur/volunteer basis. That means coding, bux fixes, etc., is done in a person's spare time. Only a small percentage of linux coders are actually employed, making money writing Linux OS code or other software.

I would encourage you to stick around and give it another shot, there might be someone who knows an answer to your problem or can recommend an alternative.

Regards...

Rants will always get ignored, civility is required to get people to answer your questions.

Unless they're really good, unlike "everything" sucks!

Amusing thread

This thread is closed. Not really something a LQ member should post nor abide by LQ Rules or even following http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...#faq_lqwelcome suggestions.

OP being a new LQ members does not afford that member to post a thread in this manner due to ignorance.
