It’s all about attitude, basic human decency and actually recognizing that no one here owes anyone an answer for anything. On the other hand if a person describes their issue, asks for help, answers follow-up questions and is otherwise a pleasant person to communicate with I am pretty sure they will be well taken care of. Finally a “I am finished with this forum!” post asking to delete their account. Then they “ping” the thread once or twice a day and get increasingly irritated that their questions have not yet been addressed to their fullest satisfaction, while ignoring any and all attempts to even clarify what exactly their issue is. There are some (especially in places like forums) that show up, leave the most minimal description of their issue accompanied by an essay about their personal frustrations and expectations. The way I see it, it is about appreciating the time and energy others put into reading a question and posting an answer. Like everything this is not a black/white issue. ![]() When I read the above post I wanted to repeat it.Įvery question asked can be resolved with a well placed search, but if somebody isn’t sure what they are asking, then the searches will only point to other noobs equally confused, and sadly the responses to their questions are all too often “read the doc’s you noob”. A steep learning curve for sure, but as everyone here knows, it is well worth it. Even seasoned linux admins will be challenged while coming up to speed on Qubes. Thankfully, the people here are noob friendly (THANK YOU!), because Qubes is definitely a more advanced platform, not for beginners. The Ubuntu forums are painfully full of RTFM responses. Every question asked can be resolved with a well placed search, but if somebody isn’t sure what they are asking, then the searches will only point to other noobs equally confused, and sadly the responses to their questions are all too often “read the doc’s you noob”. However, I always hated the old RTFM mantra “read the doc’s” when we all know there are gazillions of doc’s from gazillion’s of sources, and you can spend a lifetime reading doc’s and still not read them all. That’s why the project provides ready configured larger templates, which should work out of the box. There simply isn’t scope to support naive users in this sort of endeavour, particularly when (as now) new users don’t (or wont) read the documentation. ![]()
