Tech professionals often seem to believe that anyone without their level of knowledge doesn’t want to/can’t learn anything technical. I run into people like this on Lemmy often, and it’s frustrating. Everyone I know who is less tech savvy, including elderly people, want to learn and understand, they just can’t find a source of information that’s written for someone like them.
I’m pretty tech literate but I still come across things often within the Linux space that I have only recently been delving into properly that are just not written in a clear, understandable manner and I then have to waste hours researching additional things often many layers deep where each successive thing throws up more unknowns.
I agree it is bloody frustrating! I can only imagine how put off people are that don’t have any tech know how to begin with!

Yup, exactly!
