    What are these “solutions” you speak of? All help forum posts must follow this format:

    “I want to do x.”

    “Why would you want to do x? Don’t do x.”.

      In many cases that kind of answer is correct though. People ask for things that aren’t a good idea on a regular basis. Sometimes what they want is correct for their circumstances, but often not.

      I want to shoot myself in the foot

      Why would you want to do that? Don’t do that?

      Why are people so rude to me? I asked a question and they won’t answer it. The Linux community sucks

        Yeah it sucks.

        If I wanna shoot myself, let me shoot myself. Maybe I’m into that. Who are you to judge whats good for me?

          If you so desperately want to shoot yourself in the foot, put some effort into it and figure it out instead of asking strangers on the internet for free advice because you’re lazy. Not everyone is into enabling people mutilating their bodies.

        I want to make a sandwitch and I know I can do this by shooting myself in the foot, no i don’t care this is bad practice just tell me how to make it work.

        doesn’t tell them how to make it work, does not give enough instructions to make it work the “right” way

        installs windows again

        The Linux Community does suck…
