Actually mad rn about how obtuse the instructions are for installing #BSD ( #openbsd #freebsd) with a desktop environment all set up. I don't think I'm a *dumb* person - these guys have had literal decades to make an installer that "normal" people can use, and the fact it's in the state it's in tells me: "this isn't for you, filthy casual".

If you believe in your OS, I'd think you'd want it to be more accessible, but I guess the barrier to entry makes for bragging points.

@not3ottersinacoat I've never tried any of the BSDs, as far as I can recall. I love Linux, and have installed a number of distros and struggled with many different issues.

As far as I am concerned, Arch Linux has had the best documentation of everything, but I still struggle with even ArchWiki sometimes!

Things are so easy and simple when you know them, and so many times harder when you don't!

I appreciate any true attempts at making good documentation, but so many fall short of being very helpful.
