I have had this problum with Doom 3... no one seems to be nice enough to even look at it...... I guess I will figure it out on my own....
The biggest cause of friction tends to be in the online interactions: A "3a" user new to Linux asks for help with a problem he's having. When he doesn't get that help at what he considers an acceptable rate, he starts complaining and demanding more help. Because that's what he's used to doing with paid-for tech support. The problem is that this isn't paid-for support. This is a bunch of volunteers who are willing to help people with problems out of the goodness of their hearts. The new user has no right to demand anything from them, any more than somebody collecting for charity can demand larger donations from contributors.

Be patient, people will help if they can. Nobody said "oh, I see AtroTristis posted, I'm not going to answer him".
