I’m no expert at all, but I am familiar enough with my Xubuntu to help a few other people navigate its waters. To be honest, Xubuntu has been almost completely trouble-free so I haven’t had to learn very much. Yet I can’t help learning more and more just with ordinary daily use. Other than helping in the forums on those few occasions when someone has a simple issue I can help with, I write articles for the school newspaper, other forums I visit, and in my blog about why my OS is awesome, how I got it to look like this-or-that, etc. Maybe one reason I enjoy it so much is that up until a couple of years ago I was a total technophobe, frightened of technology. Now I can actually enjoy it and help other technophobes overcome their fear.

For instance, you can spend time leaving disparaging comments in blog posts under a fake name.

I think we’ll just have to disagree on the value of community support :)

Best is to put the energy into something else than doing user support.
