From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE.

The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.

EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

This type of answer wouldn't exist if people typed the question into google instead of reddit/lemmy/forums/etc...

When you search for a problem like this one, often the results with helpful answers are on forums. These wouldn't exist if no one ever asked their question on a forum.

To put it another way, google doesn't create any content. That's what we're here to do instead.

Yup, and it might be necessary to reproduce a lot of the answers that people used to find on reddit.

I have no problem with questions on forums, sometimes I ask them myself, but I think that if you expect people to try to answer your question, people should be able to expect you to have tried looking for an answer yourself.

I don't know about other people, but it's way easier to google something than to ask a question and then wait for the answer. I'm not OP, but if I've asked a question, it's only because I've exhausted my ability to find the answer on its own.

Sometimes people like community conversation; it often gets to the heart of the issue better than parsing a semi-related post from 12 years ago, and it allows back-and-forth discussion to get details and drill down issues.

On top of that, redundancy for technical issues is never something we should reject.

Why though? Seriously, why is it a problem for you if they ask here first, instead of asking somewhere else first? What is the actual harm to you?

Some people would rather interact with other humans. Some prefer to find their answers without interacting with other humans. It's all good.

My goodness, people complain that this place lacks content. A person as for help which creates content for the site and you come to bash on them?

Come kiddo! You can do better.
