From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're not their teacher. It's not your job to decide how much effort they've put forth, or to grade whether or not that is sufficient.
And if they documented their research process, you'd say "tldr just ask the question." Stop trying to be paternalistic and gatekeepy. Just answer or don't.
That's totally the biggest problem with the internet. And definitely deploying self-important moderaptors is the way to fix it.
/s, of course. Get off your high horse.
The archives! Why won't anyone think of the archives!?
If we have room for comments like yours in the archives then we have room for legitimate questions by beginners in there too. Your post history shows a significant amount of deleted comments and downvotes. I bet they were all very productive and helpful comments for the archives, right?
We aren't Ubuntu here. As far as I'm concerned OP's question was just fine.
The goal of Ubuntu's help forum is to solve users' problems efficiently and effectively. That goal is better achieved if questions are posed in certain optimal ways.
The goal of Lemmy is for people to have discussions (like this one! ;). That goal is not better achieved with well posed questions.
