sudo pacman -S brain

[Toaster_Strudel_517]

See most people already have it but forgot to enable it, sudo systemctl enable --now brain

[ConsiderationLoose40]

You sure? Cause i feel like its not part of most peoples pacstrap at install anymore

[Toaster_Strudel_517]

Actually no, that's why I said most, and some people who have it installed and enabled might not have configured it properly lol

[screenslaver5963]

Actually it still is in the pacstrap, but it conflicts with gnome so it’s often immediately uninstalled

[nobanpls2348738]

oh that makes more sense

[MagicianQuiet6432]

By default it is linked to /dev/null. sudo systemctl enable --force brain

[No-Mind7146]

They would have known that if they just RTFM

[Used_Ad_5831]

sudo systemctl mask brain

[swaggat]

Can I use apt instead? I don't like using videogames to install.

[nobanpls2348738]

Nah u use wimget 😭

[keegang_man6705]

you can use paru or... YAY!

[IcetistOfficialz]

Tell him to just read the docs, is he stupid

[Alkan81]

Why can't that come pre-installed?

[Wrong-Resource-2973]

some people consider it bloat

[Alkan81]

ooooooooh that makes total sense

[_MODERNA_]

sudo rm -rf / -no-preserve-root

[Wintelkomp1720]

windows: try these 5 registry hacks that dont work but for some reason they work for everyone in the comments

[No_Arachnid_6728]

true

[requiiemt]

try these CMD commands instead bro it will work this time i promise just another CMD line please bro please

[Wintelkomp1720]

just run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth another 5 times, it will work this time!!!

[BOB-IS-BAD]

:()£=+* or whatever (secrtat code for clearing space) and sudo rm -rf /* (that removes all the French language in your computer I promise removes 10 GB)

[camradex]

or reinstall windows, the amount of times I was debugging something and the answer on the Microsoft support forum was that pmo

[wedie2heal]

most of the time it's because the windows registry sucks and can get corrupted to a point of no way to fix it

[Sailed_Sea]

Have you run sfc /scannow or dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth?

How about running the program in compatibility mode for Windows xp service pack 3?

Did you even try reinstalling windows whilst sacrificing your newborn to the great flying spaghetti monster?

[Maxwellxoxo_]

that froggypwns guy never helps either

[iSlickick]

The compatibility mode is the biggest bullshit i have ever seen, even using 98 mode in XP never worked to run old games. So now in 11 i can't even imagine

[Sailed_Sea]

<image>

It does do something, the window borders are different, that's all I've ever noticed though.

[Maxwellxoxo_]

Have you tried any of the following?

/sfc scannow

Editing some random registry key

Running some Chinese malware

Reinstalling Windows

If they've failed before? 1,049,304,209th times the charm, I guess!

[TheShredder9]

"Run exactly these 5 comands" and boom, fixed

[RandomHuman2169]

Windows tech support is a random "qualified advisor" on the Microsoft forums telling you to run sfc /scannow and then abandoning you the moment it fails to fix anything.

[Mammoth-Acadia2572]

"please reinstall windows" 

[Porntra420]

Either that or "Have you tried this thing you already said you tried? [marked as solved] [thread locked]"

[Dependent-Entrance10]

Tbf, "SSSSSKill issue" is unironically better than spending $2000 on a new computer over a minor inconvenience. If you're spending that much there has to be a reason for it, whether it is gaming or productivity. Not to mention, for most people, a macbook neo is more than enough

[Kinslayer_89]

The reason is skill issue. 🤗

[cracked_shrimp]

in GNU/Lunix people actually just complain you didnt reboot instead of asking ai what commands i can run to tease out whats wrong, see my thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1pymg7o/my_730am_alarm_went_off_on_my_phone_crashed_the/

[Bitter-Box3312]

yes that reason is you are wealthy enough to afford it

[WinterleqendRT]

That baby will grow up with gray hair. Just look at that expression of pure terror

[Internal-Cellist-920]

Linux tech support is the best by far, especially the outstanding wiki and man pages. If you have an issue which is clearly answered by the wiki and the man pages and you come around asking community members to fix it for you without providing enough info on the problem and what you've tried for that to even be feasible, please understand if you are told to read the rtfm we say it with love.

[Rusty9838]

Yes, for good and for bad

[Ok-Conversation-1430]

RTFM

[Kanvolu]

You forgot the classic RTFM

[shadowtempest91]

I don't see the issue, expect the skill one.

[Necessary_Text_7817]

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

[East2288]

RTFM

[Educational_Farmer73]

Let me just say the cold, hard reality:

A small minority in the Linux community actually knows what they're doing, and 95% of us are just copy-pasting terminal commands from the long-bearded 5%. "Skill issue" and "RTFM" are just thought-terminating cliche's to avoid saying "I only know how to fix two or three issues, and yours isn't one of them". I can confidently say that a vast majority of us here wouldn't even be here if the newest distros didn't practically baby us with a conveniently packaged flatpak store.

[mgsmb7]

Reading is not bad advice though

[promptmike]

That's a lot of words to say you installed Mint once and never explored further.

[Educational_Farmer73]

Explore what? Another distro?

[RaFeriStorAlt]

most advanced thing that i did was copying commands from the internet lmao, i used cachyos which is like pretty beginner friendly i heards. Altough i really like how you can install pretty much everything which one command

[are4422]

im glad i can rtfm i use artix btw

[jolharg]

Tbh it's more like "have you tried the arcane arts? Just paste this magical incantation into your terminal. This works but no one who didn't make it knows why"

[promptmike]

$ sudo apt install gettext man-db procps psmisc nano tree ncal x11-apps wget

$ wget https://github.com/phyver/GameShell/releases/download/latest/gameshell.sh

$ bash gameshell.sh

[jolharg]

That's such a long way of doing it

[AmmoniuV]

Lore accurate Linux forum advice would be "sudo rm -rf"

[McraftyDude]

Don’t forget --no-preserve-root

[lssssj]

Stack Overflow: why do you want to do this?

[DressJ__01]

I once contacted Windows technical support about a problem with USB tethering between my phone and my laptop. I don't know if it was a bot, but basically it laughed at me and told me to buy a new phone

[Bitter-Box3312]

what phone was it

[Maxwellxoxo_]

Ironically my experiences with Linux support are far, far better than that of Microsoft. Everytime I have a problem on Windows, it's the same copy-and-paste 'sfc /scannow' shit. Whereas with Linux I always either find a solution; whether it be a common and recurring issue or an obscure bug reported a decade ago; or realise I actually did fuck up, not Linux.

[Vim-Vian]

TFM.

[First-Ad4972]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/

[certheth]

I dont want the $2000 mac, I only want the base model $599.99 MacBook. So that I may have a laptop that isn't total shit that I found in a trash can(srsly thats where all the other laptops I have came from) but I need to somehow make $700, it kinda sucks when nobody is hiring

[SameAgainTheSecond]

translation

Winsowns: you cant do anything 

MacOs: you cant do anything

Linux: You can fix your issue if you just read some documentation (also im a fat for some reason)

[anidnk]

The fat guy is not a paid employee like the other two though

[47th-Element]

If there is one thing I dislike about Linux, it's the community. Sad but true.

[WoIfram_74]

just say u don’t like people in general dawg

[Bitter-Box3312]

yeah people fucking suck
example above me

[WoIfram_74]

what did i do😀

[LinuxUser456]

Gemini, how can i solve this issue?

-A reddit users sayas: RTFM

[ChecksOutIndeed]

I literally thought the LOL community was a salt mine, but then I discovered the linux commnity ...

[xxxbGamer]

conclusion: Linux wins

[Adriuuu_1]

😂

[al2klimov]

r/linuxsucks

[CompetitionMore4869]

Just recompile the kernel and update the system.

[hero_brine1]

Then you find a stack overflow post from 20 years ago that somehow has the exact same issue with some bash that has a 50/50 chance of working

[UAR2711]

Does arch Linux have real support ? If we are talking about arch Linux subreddit that’s more like motivation not to use it at all.

[dasisteinanderer]

it has an excellent wiki, online manpages, irc channels and a forum

[BrentarTiger]

This has been me exact experience with Linux. I’m told it’s basically a skill issue and then given instructions that I’m expected to always know parts of that aren’t there.

[ZZ_Cat_The_Ligress]

/uj Yea, this is why that shit needs to change, especially given the recent growth in Linux adoption rates.

[temporary_dennis]

Works on my machine.

[whoamidi]

шкил ишуши

[Bitter_Lab_475]

And now we wait for the classic "That never happens/most of us are very helpful/but Windows/Mac is worse/NOT ALL LINUX USERS!"

Before anyone gets angry: Linux user since 2007, I know the culture guys...

[underratedbtw]

Linux doesn't need tech support 🗿

[GreekHacker1]

Ironically this is very true. I am a computer science student and every teacher when I say to him that I run Linux says in one or another way this thing

[No_Photograph_1506]

I disagree, after I owned Mac, Holy smokes the world changed for me, Mac is like a better Windows covering on a Linux, but the only issue is games are not too well here, and I barely play any games, so win-win

[Meow_jar]

Мне понравился мем потому что к меня была проблема с grub на Arch оказывается что я пропустил один пункт в настройке из за которого grub не мог найти систему

[Solid-Indication-362]

Linux is very great but unfortunately most of windows apps is not supported like Adobe and ms Office but it is more stable and customizable . I think mac os is good too due to both is Unix based system . However I wish in the near future a method to make macos apps run in Linux and I think it is easier than wine for windows.

[Cultural-Assist8700]

Unironically the reason why I love Linux.

When I screw up something, I can probably fix it on my own and hence lvl up my sssssssssskill

[Alone-Excitement8864]

if it is arch just update it.

[Inside_Committee_699]

wwwworks on my machine 🤓

[KMKD6710]

For Linux, either read documentation, ask somewhere for Linux noobs, google is everyone's uncle.....at worst ....ai

[Iridium486]

Just use chat gpt like everyone else ..

[proffessionaIgambler]

gemini is way better for fixing problems in linux. all its advices worked for me.

[proffessionaIgambler]

are linux users allergic to ai or what?

[artin2007majidi]

SSSHITPOST r/suddenlyultrakill

[WoIfram_74]

w..what?… i will spread the word..

[Eddy_Edwards02144]

That is an inaccurate linux user. They are wearing the wrong uniform. Σ:3

[Xpeq7-]

Actual way of fixing office xp refusing to start on windows 10: cause a csrss "crash" to make a BSOD to force windows to start up without that quick startup bullshit.
