@Rinkeby I know how long it takes to write software which is featureful, and with a good UI. Especially the latter is quite difficult.
I just meant that you seemed to be saying the power of Linux was to sit back and hope that someone would come by and fix an issue that you were facing. While the true power is, as you yourself say, the possibility to jump in and explore, investigate and discover if one can solve the issue oneself.
