    Let’s wait for the next version of Windows, which will be distributed exclusively by paid subscription. Do you think Microsoft won’t find a way to hard-cut Windows 10 and 11? We are living in an era of another economic crisis. So I’ll meet you when you’ve learned the zen of the acronym RTFM.

      RTFM

      The battlecry of everyone that bitches that people aren’t willing to use Linux but won’t bother to meet them where they are.

      Does it ever occur to you that people often don’t even know what they need to Google? Half the time I do Google something, it comes to some forum or Reddit post of someone screaming READ THE FUCKING MANUAL, but not even giving that user some hint what they’re even looking for in your religious scriptures.

      You want people to use Linux? You need to meet them where they are, not take it as an opportunity to show how smart much of a smartass you are.

      Be better than that.

        Maybe a social interaction manual would be an idea.

        I honestly try my best to be helpful in most cases but if were something related to a specific program I would suggest reading the manual because otherwise I’ll be the one doing it for them. If necessary I’ll show them where to find the manual and how I normally look through it.
