Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Then feel free to fuck off.

    I'll come back to this at the end.

    You came in here [...]

    I'm the OP of the post; you came in here.

    [...] and started this saying it's basically my fault I had a bad time with Fedora.

    It is/was.

    [...] Your condescending and pretentious attitude has been noted, [...]

    I'll come back to this further down.

    [...] but I'm a new user to Linux my man.

    And evidently a very ignorant one at that. You come at it with preconceived notions of how distributions should work, and then get angry when they don't, when five minutes of googling could have prevented your problems. Only to be followed by troll-level low effort rants on the internet.

    None of this is familiar.

    And blind trial and error is no good way to change that.

    As my day 2 and 3 posts show I can actually troubleshoot and fix things, if I couldn't figure it out, I'd say it's indicative of production and deployment issues on the developers end.

    Or, your aforementioned ignorance and wrong preconceived notions of how you think things should work.

    As your day 1 post shows, you have the attention span of a squirrel and frustration tolerance of a toddler. Your assumption, that your opinion on a distribution, after spending less than one day with it, has any merit or value is plain arrogant.

    But please feel free to not respond, [...]

    You can always walk away from this.

    [...] you're exactly the kind of Linux user that gives the community it's negative stigma.

    You are exactly the kind of person, why I'm in favor of something akin to a drivers license for computers.

    [...] Your condescending and pretentious attitude has been noted, [...]

    There's nothing noteworthy about your arrogance, ignorance, lack of frustration tolerance and attention span.

    Then feel free to fuck off.

    Your opinions have the substance of a vacuum and structural integrity of a house of cards. Do yourself and "us" (the linux community) a favor and kindly fuck off yourself.

    And you, rather than helping someone who admitted that they were new to the community and trying to learn, decided to just be a dick.

    You've clearly not read his post and comments. He's a massive asshole.

    [–] BewilderedBeast@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I did. As someone who is also new to Linux and to programming, I've run into similar hurdles and it is frustrating. Now I'm not trying to build a gaming system, but just something to learn on. I'm still learning to read through and interpret documentation and it often get way too over my head that I need to ask the community for help; and honestly, I don't like to because of reactions like yours.

    It's really disheartening to come to the community, try to ask for help and to be told that I should just do it right, or to catch flak for not asking the rifht question, or to have someone share a chunk of code and say, "just use this," which doesn't help me learn.

    To be clear, my previous comment was a pre-coffee and just irked me in the wrong way; I do owe you an apology for that so, sorry.

    And there's nothing wrong with that. And if you just ask, not even nicely, you'll usually get productive help. I know I've provided help many times, no matter how "noobish" the question.

    [...] and honestly, I don't like to because of reactions like yours.

    If you don't act like a massive asshole, you don't get such reactions.

    He didn't come and asked. He ranted and shat on everything and everybody. He even received some help despite that. His reaction was offensive and more verbal diarrhea.

    To be clear, my previous comment was a pre-coffee and just irked me in the wrong way; I do owe you an apology for that so, sorry.

    Don't sweat it. My skin is thicker than that.
