It's one thing to dig at your friends, you know where their boundaries are, or at least you should - but for them to so brazenly mock a complete stranger is just horrid. They don't know what you're going through, your struggles - I wonder how they'd feel about it in your shoes? It's a shame we can't make people wear ours just to see what it's like.
As long as there us incentive to do so, malicious actors will exploit the source code whether it is open or closed...
Making something open source does make it easier for malicious actors, but it also allows honest actors to find and fix exploits before they can be used - something they won't/can't do for closed source, meaning you have to rely on in-house devs to review/find/fix everything.

Ah... I still don't get how that's meant to refute the previous person's point that elitism and the "git gud" attitude around Linux contributes to it's inability to become mainstream.
If anything your reply only reinforces their point, because you seem to be suggesting we throw anybody who struggles to learn it to the curb.
Pointing out that you find it easy because you do it for a living isn't a very good counter to their point - most people do other things besides Linux for a living
Higgly suspected ASD, but he's never been formally diagnosed for various reasons - and your first evaluation is more or less what I assume is going on in his head, as he also has the tendency to hyperfocus on things
My Dad has a strong tendency to talk in circles, slowly working to his point like one of those penny rolling machines you used to see everywhere, and it drives me round the bend sometimes to the point where I end up having to prompt him to just get to the point
Unless I can take my blood samples home with me, it appears I'll be left behind in that trend
