Hello Linux community.

I’d like to take a moment to explain what I hope will be a simple concept (so really it’s more of a reminder) that everyone should say least know and understand.

Not everyone (myself included) learns best by RTFM. Some of us need a guiding hand or to watch a video instead. It’s not that we’re lazy or don’t like reading, it’s just that it doesn’t work efficiently enough.

    RTFM is mostly a flex that people who got help before you are now referring to because they are already on the boat.

    That said, a rudimentary Web search or maybe a llm question, might be in order before asking. You also learn more when you get those little successes by yourself.

      While I agree that a little search is good for everyone, if no one asks questions publicly then no one has anything to find. I don’t trust llm accuracy so I don’t recommend that.
