No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There’s plenty of support for Linux. REHL, for example; their entire business is selling support. Suse, CentOS, and Debian all have people specifically to support enterprise.
Sure, there’s not a hotline with a guy on the other end who may or may not be more knowledgeable than a 5yo post on Reddit or stack exchange or wherever… but they do have enterprise-grade support
This is the way tech is. Once someone gets an idea in their head it doesn't go away. IT guy at my job told me this about two years ago, ok yeah buddy not like I used to sysadmin a RHEL system for years. No support contracts, or irc rooms, or websites, or books, or man pages, no nothing.
I just stopped arguing with people about this stuff. I get a contract and I give them the best design I can come up with. They tell me they want to use some ancient thing and I give it to them.
I knew a REHL admin that developed a custom theme for KDE that made everything look like XP... it was all the modern bells and whistles under the covers; but it looked ancient and for some reason that kept his clients happy.
Oh I believe. I have a folder full of schematics named "for morons" on my work computer. It is achieves most of the basic functionality of a modern design except every part of it looks like it was made in 1994 or so. Your tax dollars at work btw.
Did your buddy make that grass hill thing as well as the background?
Not sure. I made the mistake of telling him I grew up on redhat so he gave me a ~'98 version of gnome.
