That is very much not true.

It is true that there are a lot of people out there who pretend to know things 
(or think they do) when they really don't, but that is not exclusive to 
linux. The ability to judge the appropriateness of a suggested solution is 
more important than knowing the answer yourself. I have seen many suggestions 
on many mailing lists which, if implemented, would have totally destroyed the 
installation.

But that has nothing whatever to do with linux, and everything to do with 
human nature. Many of these emails were on lists unrelated to linux

Besides, as was pointed out, you have many professional options for support.

And there are many highly knowledgable persons on this mailing list and 
others. But if you want to rely on mailing lists, you have to learn to 
distinguish good answers from bad. But that's not the same as being on your 
own, it's just life
