I hardly think memorizing every useless fact in a manual and blowing the technician is the best way to learn. In Linux I encounter problems and seek the answers then I know how to apply this knowledge in the future. This isn’t dynastic China where we must memorize the five great books (/usr/bin, fridge, stove, furnace, and the analects) in order to progress in life.

OP may be a master of RTFM, but they clearly didn't read through that passage before posting. Blowing the technician is a good way to save money, but maybe not the best way to learn.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
