i still think about the advice i got early on in my linux experience that if you run into a problem and go to a forum for help, asking "how do i do X?" will be ignored, but saying "this distro is garbage, it can't do X" will get immediate replies giving you the solution

pretty sure this wasn't sincere advice so much as a joke about the, let's say, spirited social dynamic of those spaces

@andiesophia I can unfortunately assure you that this *is* given as sincere advice too :| I've semi-regularly had to ban somebody from a tech support channel because they *insisted* that this was the most effective way to get help, and therefore it should be allowed...
