At least if you switch to Linux there's no shortage of people on the fediverse willing to answer questions.

There should be a "Linux hotline" community where people can post whatever is stopping them from switching and get solutions

Elsewhere, Linux support areas seem more likely than not to have a large contingent of “WHY ARE YOU ASKING A DUMB QUESTION, you horror of a human being? Why didn’t you Search the site for words you don’t know using our broken search engine, instead of infecting us with your congenital idiocy?” folks.
