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.

    Not to mention, RTfM is not always possible for some distros like NixOS where the documentation is weaker than for other more mainstream distros.

        That’s a round about way of saying RTFM, but even less welcoming. Probably not the kind of thing anyone should be told…

          i see it more like telling somebody to weightlift 50kg first instead of immediately going for 500kg
