Is this the guy who makes alt right comics?
Edit: yeah, it's George Alexopoulos. They're a good artist, but they're pretty nasty. I wouldn't post their stuff.
I've seen a few great Linux memes with this, but I think the biggest insult would be for people to use it as a template for things he doesn't believe in.
Mockery is the sincerest form of insult. I hope this meme lasts forever.
Idk, I find his comics to be the quintessential example of "so bad it's good". By some great cosmic irony, nobody can satirize his views better than he can.
It's hard to look away from a train wreck; I don't blame you for looking. But perhaps it's better to avoid that type of behavior, altogether.
This is an edit, original had the bible
"They're the same picture"
oh no
Okay but tbf the arch wiki is probably the only source of online documentation that is actually up to date lol.
I abuse it for literally every stupid corner case on any distro
Cause literally everything is in the wiki, written out very simply. Rewriting that in a chat and email would be counter productive.
It's the same shit as working tech support, no one EVER reads manuals or does standard troubleshooting, they instantly jump to asking people for help which forces them to just read out the manual and troubleshooting steps first instead of actually helping those who need help..
If people could learn to take care of the fundamentals themselves and only ask for help when actually needed, everyone would be better off.
I'm too much of an internet introvert to ask people my problems, I just spend 1h debugging and reading the wiki
As a fellow ex-help desk guy :tm:. I just want to say that A) I feel you but also B) the very fact that you know no one reads manuals should be an indication that expecting them to is a flaw. Instead most people generally do better with hands on coaching. Idk about your job, but back when I was working help desk I got way better results when I let people just be people and patiently guided them through the steps. Most of them catch on eventually
I hate that, because when i call tech support i have to listen to them walk me through the basic steps before i get to the parts i need. I try telling them I've already worked through basic troubleshooting, but most of them are reading a script for every idiot that calls.
As a noob to Linux: THERE'S A WIKI? Awesome!
As a mechanic: Everything I deal with comes with an instruction manual that has the steps written out simply.... for a mechanic.
If I didn't ask the simple questions when I first started, despite having the manual available, never would have learned the basics from someone who knows.
I'm not trying to sound combative or anything, just that sometimes a person needs a small stepping stone of an answer to progress.
"hello fellow linux users, I'm having a problem
"you fucking noob, go to the fucking wiki"
lol! this was primarily the reason why i went with endeavourOS. I actually installed arch linux on my laptop later by using archinstall which made the process a whole lot easier, but of course these elitists come out and claim that's not the "real" way to install arch 🙄
those people suck. some people enjoy the pain i guess but shitting on others is dumb. Arch is pretty great but the fan base is insufferable. I use arch btw.
I ~~love~~ hate it when it's a fairly simple issue and the op gets everything but the answer because people just want to talk shit.
I was just getting into Linux desktop development. I asked one question regarding getting the position of a mouse on some Ubuntu developer forum. The response drove me away from developing for Linux and I never returned.
You perhaps could not have known it at that time, but development questions are almost always out of place with a distribution forum. Qt or GTK documentation would probably have been a better stop.
Unlike the wacky original this edit is too real.
what was the original?
Basically the atheist dad yelling and screaming at his daughter for not being gay and not wanting to have abortions. Typical fundie Christians projecting their inner most thoughts and darkest desires onto their opponents thinking.
This hugely diminish how crazy and nonsensical the original was.
This edit had a the order of the panels changed. In the original, the dad burst out screaming "mom found this on your room." Cue, a shot of the Bible. The girl screams : "god bless you, dad" and in the last panel where she's running away her dad screams at her to have an abortion like a good atheist.
Their wiki is amazing but if I had to be a part of the Arch community to use the distro, I would give it a hard pass. They're toxic AF.
Eh, the toxic ones are just the loudest, the same applies anywhere else too.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!
-Mandrake Linux. (Is that distro even still around?)
If you are new and need help you can ask in the newbie corner. Most people are really helpful there even with the most trivial problem. Well you can also use it if you are more experienced, it is a nice place to get help and participate.
In other forums you are expected to have done some research first though, e.g. checked the wiki and maybe the bug tracker first and provide your relevant logs. That's what might get you in this comics situation though.
I'm just thinking about the scene in Hackers where they are sharing their books. Wasn't the "ugly red book that doesn't fit on a desk" the unix manual? 🤣
And remember kids, if you do decide to give an answer other than RTFM, make sure to cover all your prompts in tons of awk commands so the noob will never be able to figure out what you told them to do;
Hint: :q!
