      I think zoomies just want to watch a video. I’m not trying to just insult them but I’ve had so many times people linking and recommending guide videos that are 15 minute long and full of dumb filler shit when an article would’ve been much better and quicker.

        I really dislike video tutorials. Just let me read a manual or the readme of a git repository.

    I’ve found two things to be true after moving to Arch:

    1. The users on forums and other help boards are actually quite willing to link directly to the thing you should have read before starting a new thread and are generally polite about it.

    2. The Arch Wiki is really that good, so you should read it.

    In all honesty, I use the arch manual to troubleshoot all distros. It is well written and has the info you need and no more.

      Unlike the Nixos wiki which is utterly useless. Yes, I know why. Yes, I know they want to make a new better one.
