With the sub apparently being unmoderated, I wanted to do something semi-constructive for folks looking for help.

Instead, I’m making this post. Here’s the gist: you want Google for your question, not r/linux. This sub was mostly for news about Linux, and is specifically not a support forum.

Trust me, no matter what broken thing you’re experiencing, just Google it in various forms and you’ll get help. Posting here that gaming on Linux is broken, or that your Nvidia driver doesn’t Nvidia enough, or that your screen does a weird thing when you Frisbee your laptop into the wall… well, it won’t help.

Google has these answers, and it will be a lot less snarky than Reddit.
