Well, this is caused by
one of the "ground truths" about
Windows and Linux.
Regardless of what
Linux can or can't do, folks
have few resources
in the mainstream for
tracking down tips and techniques
(in common English).
On the other hand,
Windows has half a dozen
mainstream magazines
and entry level
websites helping out users
and entire sections
in local bookstores.
Mis-information about
Linux doesn't come
from people lying,
it just reflects the vastly
larger knowledge-base
Windows has in place.
(And I don't see this changing
because nobody's
making money off
Linux books, while Windows books
sell to everyone
who wants to get work
in the corporate job scene.
The marketplace rules.)
There's Linux Questions as an example
...nobody's making money off Linux books,...
...except for O'Reilly, Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.
My point is that there is just as much, if not more, Linux information available to the average person as Windows knowledge. I can name several magazines devoted to Linux right off the top of my head.
You're just not familiar with them as you have no need for it. That's fine, but your statements are incorrect.
Ignorant posts like that one are not helpful in that quest.
