Not sorry for that noise:

Some Linux users are humans, not everybody is an alien Linux nerd. RTFM
responses usually are longer than concrete answers would be. That RTFM
approach is a shame for the Linux community.

Anyway, I confess that Arch Wikis are amazing good, easy to read and
understand.

Smart people ask stupid question, only idiots don't ask, but fake
knowledge. Reading manuals does not give the solace that often is
needed. Humans tend to be ambivalent.

Those who don't wrangle with ambivalent usually are evil. Take a look at
the Facebook mob, if they could, they would lynch innocents.
