@SomethingBlack You failed to put "debian" into google when you were wondering about what "debian" means, instead, you spent several comments and a lot of time demanding answers from other people. You are disrespecting everyone who might be able to help you. You'd know that, if you had read the links I posted, they explain it very well. And I don't think you are willing to change so.. bye bye
I don't remember asking what Debian was. I demanded an answer to the question, "would you download an unfamiliar file from a stranger without any context or description of what it is" (paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly what I said). And that demand was only because of the condescending comment I was replying to.
I can admit I have been disrespectful to three people, but only in retaliation to a disrespectful comment levied at me first. Everyone else I have had a pleasant discussion with and thanked them for their time and help. I deserve as much respect as anyone else here does, why did you and the others feel justified being disrespectful to me and expecting me to just allow that to happen without me calling it out for what it is?
And I did read the links you posted, I just don't see how they are relevant to this case. I thought it could have been a productive discussion, and other than this thread and three particularly rude and unwelcoming people, it has been.
