it can be very off-putting and hard to decipher.
To touch on that...
Yeah, many of us are pretty apathetic. Do your research. I am not your personal Google. RTFM.
This site is better than most, which is why I'm here. There are other sites where you'll get few, if any, valuable responses unless you managed to craft the exact right question, with the exact right incantations.
Even here, we expect you to put your hours in doing your own research. We don't answer homework questions, help you with your job application interview questions, or anything like that. We don't want to aid incompetent people. We don't want them entering the workforce where their ineptitude sullies the Linux name.
We're about the nicest Linux site online, at least out of the major sites.
We also want you to have the tools you need to learn. I am pretty sure it was you who asked what an inxi flag did. Someone told you what that specific flag did. My instructions were to show you the man page where you can figure that out all on your own. That saves us time, saves you time, and is more valuable than just answering your question - so long as you use the tools you're now aware of.
There's that adage about giving a man a fish vs. teaching them to fish.
Anyhow, we're different people. So, you'll get a different style of answer to your questions. It's up to you to tell the difference and take from those answers what you can.
Me? I give back all the time. The linux-tips.us site is mine and helps teach new users all sorts of things.
Here, read this page:
https://linux-tips.us/how-to-ask-a-good-support-question/
It'll help explain what we expect. I think it'd broaden your horizon to read it. There are a few more "important pages" after that, if you want.
