No Stupid Questions
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.

@ryujin470@fedia.io here's a brief list, in no particular order and based pretty much entirely on my own opinions and experience.
you have to learn a little bit about what happens behind the scenes sometimes. for example, if you don't know what distro packages are or what flatpak is (or the reasons behind each of them, honestly) then installing apps kinda sucks at first.
you can end up installing a package thinking it is the official one, when in fact it is some variety of third-party. generally this doesn't really hurt anything but it can (look up fedora flatpak).
sometimes cool features get stuck in limbo because none of the people who want them know how to code
sometimes cool features get stuck in limbo because of politics (in-project politics, not what you probably thought at first)
it can be hard to figure out if something is good or if the people reccomending it are just trying to help a new user find something easy and, since they don't actually use it and haven't for a while, don't know that it kind of sucks now (I'm thinking of ubuntu here but it happens with a lot of stuff, distro or otherwise)
all the damn tribalism
drivers are hell on most distros
app availabilty on non-.deb systems
some apps refuse to look native (gtk apps on kde, qt apps on gnome, anything made by a mac user for some reason, every browser fighting tooth and nail to default to windows titlebar icons)
all the damn tribalism
Your comment is to be ~~closed~~ deleted in 3..2..1..
yeah but 10 is so obviously better than 6
no idea what you're talking about
OP's riffing a joke off Stack Overflow's tendency to kill duplicate posts.
@shalafi@lemmy.world I was joking too
@ryujin470@fedia.io @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz
You should have capitalized one of the two so they would be case-sensitively different but parse the same, another thing to get used to on linux.
