Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
I realised, that sometimes it is more like a different experience level. And some people forget it could be possible the asking person is an absolute newbie.
And most people in forums are there because they want to help, but they want to help on this one asked case and won't teach the whole Linux universe, most people need years of experience for.
The good thing is, we can use AI for this nowadays, it won't go mad if you are missing an elemental "you really should know, how this works" kind of error.
Yeah people need to find the startingpoint often.
But it is annoying if people ask stuff that is like a single web search, or throw out nonsensical myths that make no sense.
Especially on the GrapheneOS discuss really technical people like always help them, and I think this has to be very tiring
Props to people are actually helping, it goes a long way and people do learn information differently. Sometimes telling someone just to read something doesn't click.
Linux Support Communities are a trillion times more welcoming, kind and understanding of new people today than they were 10 and 20 years ago.
I still am scared to ask questions, but at least when I finally have no choice and resign myself to asking a question.. its generally answered kindly, and if its not answered directly I'm at least put in the right direction. And that helps me build my own knowledge base, and helps me solve future problems on my own.
Unlike when I did my first dip into linux a couple decades ago where you'd be called some creative combination of Windows/Microsoft and a sexual slur and told to go the fuck back to windows if you are too stupid to have been born without the complete comprehensive understanding of the terminal.
I hope the community continues to improve, and welcome newbies and their problems like it currently does, so we can all grow and thrive together.
Gaming communities can be incredibly bad. Everyone else is a jerk or moron who wasn't born knowing that doing X increases your DPS by 2.3% on alternate Tuesdays. DUH
command -v lol
is returning an error on my system???
This is why I like my Manjaro friends and neighbours.
Honestly, Manjaro community differs from place to place as well.
Russian Manjaro community didn't go much far from Arch one. English, though, is very decent.
I just got a new laptop, I want to change it to Linux, it is going to be a really fun experience
Jokes on you I trolled myself by being stupid and not asking for help when installing on the crap old pc I have and fucked myself over by bricking it
Really you actually bricked it? Have you tried a live system from a bootable USB and format the drive or something?
The fact that you need a qualifier speaks volumes.
