that doesn't mean I was mocking them

I went back to look again. The arrogant superiority of the average Linux user is leaking out of your post.

I run Puppy on my laptop, because it is one of the few distros where you don't have to learn Linux to make it work on a basic level.

I go back to CP/M, so command line is not a foreign concept to me, but I don't have the time to teach myself Linux right now, and I know better than to expect help from experienced users.

I certainly don't feel any such way about Linux or Linux users. I just prefer that OS as a matter of taste. I am certainly not geeky, and don't program or anything like that. Anything more demanding than a few lines in a shell script is more than beyond my ability. It seems more likely to me that you have a preconceived idea about Linux users, e.g. "arrogant superiority of the average Linux user...", and are seeing in my post what you would expect to see. Something like a self-fulfilling prophecy. But, believe me, I meant no such thing at all.
