    I don’t recommend things based on if people are new to it or not. I recommend things based on if they read and are willing to learn or not.

    If you don’t read, arch is not a good distro for you.

        You should always judge the quality of advice others give, especially random internet bozos.

      If you don’t read, nothing is good for you, you’ll kill all distros if you don’t care and aren’t willing to learn

        Agreed. Also I would rather read the archwiki than loads of outdated faq posts when troubleshooting an issue.

        I guess a lot of accurate text is intimidating compared to a concise message that is very confident.

        I’ve also seen people just refuse to read an error message. I think this is from using Microsoft products that never have accurate error messages.

        Anyway, I hope people willing to learn try a whole bunch of things, and don’t give up at the first problem because that is how you learn.

          Microsoft (and not only!) Fucked up the perception of error messages so much with their innacurate errors and random gibberish

          The Arch wiki’s secret: Most of the time, the info is applicable to other distros, even when you’re running Debian oldoldstable.
