Then given them the second manual for the next step in installing something from the internet
Thanks for the red circle, I was really lost there for a moment
I can’t find where your comment is. Can you please add a red circle so I can read it?

“Just follow the build instructions on GitHub”
1000 error messages ensue.
That’s your own darn fault. You were supposed to know the 0.0.1 version was GA instead of assuming 0.0.3-alpha was stable. You would have known if you read the 2000 line README. On the second dependency there is no README though, so just use the latest and hope it’s still compatible.
Last commit 8 years ago “Updated for Linux 4.5”
Then do some digging and find that the GitHub instructions omitted some particular dependency, make a mental note to contribute a PR to the documentation later once you’ve got it working, get it working, promptly forget contributing that documentation, move distro later, try to reinstall the same program, make the same mistake, same discovery, learn nothing, repeat ad nauseam.
I’m trying to learn Houdini. I thought, “Oh, I’ll just download a template and see how it should look.”
Even already-made templates are apparently out-of-my-depth.
“Just gotta enable the OEIS menu in the .sysbin folder and it’ll make that program CHIM, that should solve your problem”
What it looks like when I ask “how do I put Cura on the taskbar”
I don’t know why such answers get so many upvotes.
The real answer is: Right-click -> Pin to Taskbar. (In sane desktop environments like KDE. If you choose to install Fancy DE Alpha 0.0.2, you know what you got into!)
Yeah we are in a meme community, still I like my memes based on reality, makes them way funnier.
(Also having a standard place for documentation for everything is a blessing!)
Sure but it’s not a rarity that forum answers expect you to be very familiar with linux file structures and terminal commands. If you’re a beginner who runs into an issue (as beginners do), you oftentimes need to find a tutorial and then tutorials that explain the tutorial. It gets even worse if you’re not on a debian/ubuntu based distro (although, to be fair, if you’re a newbie, that’s sorta asking for trouble).
“Why dont windows users switch to Linux???”
Or you just use Arch and have one place for all the apps (AUR) and one place for all the manuals (ArchWiki)
And when using endeavourOS you get an easy install on top it, and as a bonus a nice tool to install / uninstall nvidia proprietary drivers using a single command as well.
Pure love 🥰
Ah, and just typing yay, updates everything 👌🏻
You‘re a step too far again though. The average newbie would insta-panic by the thought of using the terminal. Needing a command to install drivers or to update is already too hard.
Arch based distros like Manjaro, endeavorOS or even SteamOS, for that matter are great (have used manjaro myself in the past until I settled for fedora/nobara) and the AUR can make acquiring software a lot easier. However, the moment something breaks, a newbie will be lost and the Arch Wiki won’t save someone who doesn’t know what to look for in the first place.
If anything, my recommendation for absolute beginners (as long as their hardware isn’t state of the art or they want to game, primarily) would be Mint. It’s easy to set up, has a nifty (and graphical) driver installer, has a default DE that is close enough to windows as to not confuse someone who hasn’t used anything else in their life and also, it shares enough DNA with ubuntu that most tutorials out there work without having shit like snap in there.
😁thank you for your very reasonable and correct answer (well with some little parts I disagree just a bit) in a meme community 😇✌🏻
I’m concerned if CHIM is what I think it is, I don’t think I want the computer doing that.
“The real problem is that you’re using Cura and not Orca”
This is some unnecessary red circle shit right here.
But look how pretty it is 😊.
Clearly added for emphasis, crucial instructions, we might mistake for other instructions in the picture.
If you did tighten, DO NOT LOOSEN.
Clear your mind. Simply “be” the screws. Do not aim for completion, for one is never complete. Also, it’s upside-down.
This is why I’m still on Windows 7.
It’s hard enough to express this in a first language
What is a first language?
The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it’s often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people
Often also called mother tongue or primary language.
Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.
Ahh, I see, I think it is a translation issue where the tect got too long ant cut. I suppose the missing words are “… too much”.
That said in my first language: “zie d schruube ah, pass aber uf dass sie ned zu fest aziesch”
What dialect is that? Sounds like Pfälzisch to me but I never was good at placing other dialects
It is a flavour of german talked in Zurich, Switzerland. I personally have some influence from cantons east of Zurich. There are no rules about how to write, we just write phonetically. Official stuff is written in German German.
Way off the mark then, embarrassing. Particularly since I’m from Southwest Germany, you’d think I’d recognise Schwyzerdütsch. I definitely need more exposure to dialects.
Oh yeah I think it was a translation issue. Translators have trouble with conjugation and synonyms. But the result is the same.
A regional dialect doesn’t a whole language make
That is not just a regional dialect. And in my opinion dialects are more first language than the learning “real language” afterwards. That is clearly the second language…
English is slightly ambiguous here. As tighten has 2 meanings. Turning a screw clockwise is to tighten it, as opposed to loosen it anticlockwise. But it’s quite loose. Finally, to make it tight and secure, you tighten it with one last turn.
Shouldn’t “screw in the screw” be used instead of “tighten the screw” when you’re just inserting it fully but not tightening it?
Makes sense. You should design furniture manuals for IKEA.
I’m actually fairly good with writing tutorials… or so I’ve been told.
Don’t tighten it tight
This is why I’m still on Windows 3.1
Hi, still on Windows 3.1. I’m dad.
To screw or not to screw.
A little bit of both 🤷…
Oh bro, it’s the Art of War.
Can I get this picture without the caption and red circle?
Don’t know where it’s from, found it on reddit.
Try searching for it through images.google.com or the text in the image.
