Linux Support Do's and Don'ts

Alright, so one of my biggest pet peves with new users to the linux community, and more specifically, Ubuntu, is that some users like to try to run it for us all. Anyone that has spent any time at all inside the community has run into this at one time or another.

A very common quote either in maling list threads, or in the forums:

"I'm thinking: Linux sucks."

While this is really the frustration of an inexperienced non-technical user showing through, it is entirely counter productive to the community.
