The Linux kernel undeniably is one of the greatest achievements and miracles of worldwide collaborative free software development. Projects of such magnitude happen only once in many decades -- if ever.

It is truly a project that transcends materialism in a money obsessed world. GNU/Linux will be talked about for centuries!

I used to love and use Linux as my main OS for a decade. But with the time, Linux community changed a lot, you as a novice, you will not get friendly and helpful answers from Linux users. Since the news that, Microsoft bought GitHub and my GitHub account has been attacked and flagged by Linux users and banned, Linux became a bullying, toxic and unfriendly of zealots. I switched from Linux to another OS.

If you want to belong to a friendly, nice, open-minded and noobie-tolerant community and not to a community of closed-minded, narrow-minded, rude, noobie-unfriendly and unfriendly Linux zealots, use FreeBSD, macOS, Solaris and Windows instead. Use Gogs and Gitstacks which is a Windows-backed GitHub alternative and there Linux users are almost inexistent.
