    I wonder what percentage of the Linux users making these reports are already professional IT people in some capacity. I’m not convinced that it’s “the open source way” causing this to happen, but instead suspect it’s “the experienced engineer way”.

      While maybe not professional IT people but Linux users are quite known to be passionate about finding solutions. It’s quite recent that you can have a hands off experience with Linux, it was always a tinkerer’s OS before.

      I remember in high school having friends who were going crazy at the chance to be the one who could solve an OS issue, like an IT medal of honor.
