    In the worst case, you go to a forum of Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro and

    • You are kindly told to do research. This happens if the problem is too simple or common ie. caused by a recent upgrade and affecting many people.
    • You are warned because you have been told to do something and you have replied without doing that.

    If you get punished, more often than not it is deserved because the helpers don’t want to waste their time if help requester doesn’t cooperate. Meanwhile OP, are you the creator of the video?

      I’d disagree about that being the worst case scenario.

      When I used to use Arch and asked a question on the Arch forum, they removed my post because they saw I was using Pamac so they assumed I was actually on Manjaro. They didn’t ask me if I’m using Manjaro or anything, they just assumed I was and removed it.

      I reposted the question and clarified that I was using Arch, but that got removed again due to it being a duplicate of a removed question.

      I made a meta post about what I should be doing in order to not get my posts removed and that got removed as well, though I don’t remember the reason they gave for that.

      That was the last time I posted on the Arch forum and shortly after, I switched to Void Linux.
