Why is the FOSS community so toxic?
You probably didn't read the manual before asking. I can tell from your 9gag tier image.

They have to do it for free
Because Linux users have autism and were replying before they had had their morning tendies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_desktop_Linux#Missed_opportunities
>Desktop Linux was criticized in late 2010 for having missed its opportunity to become a significant force in desktop computing. PC World Executive Editor Robert Strohmeyer commented that although Linux has exceptional security and stability, as well as great performance and usability, the time for desktop Linux to succeed has been missed.[16] Nick Farrell, writing for TechEye felt that the release of Windows Vista was a missed opportunity to grab significant market share.[17]
>Both critics indicated that Linux did not fail on the desktop due to being "too geeky," "too hard to use," or "too obscure". Both had praise for distributions, Strohmeyer saying "the best-known distribution, Ubuntu, has received high marks for usability from every major player in the technology press". Both laid the blame for this failure on the open source community. Strohmeyer named the "fierce ideology of the open-source community at large"[16] as being responsible, while Farrell stated "The biggest killer of putting penguin software on the desktop was the Linux community. If you think the Apple fanboys are completely barking, they are role models of sanity to the loudmouthed Open Sauce religious loonies who are out there. Like many fundamentalists they are totally inflexible – waving a GNU as if it were handed down by God to Richard Stallman"
If you don't want to do everything yourself don't use Linux. Those people are hardcore autists and not worth speaking to at all. They are zealots about software.
This is the honest truth. The Linux "community" is retarded.

Why ask about something on forum when you can simply google it. I'm debian user for few years and when I couldn't find an answer on google I just started to looking for it on arch wiki.

Some people don't learn that way.
It would be like going in for tutoring on calculus and the person asking you why you didn't just google how to do it or read a textbook.
Why be hostile when you can just help?

FOSS means crap or liquid shit in this country's. It is not a coincidence that they are unhelpful little shits.
Guess the country! I help you with one thing it it closed source now.

Best Solution:
A[random]: Make sure you didn't hide it by accident.

The point is that the Linux community is full of bigot neckbeards that will take the slightest opportunity to resort to name calling, if at all possible.
