Ie, documentation would be useless, they would not read it; they expect the forum to give answers instead, even if they ask questions difficult to understand and do not answer back properly the requests from the volunteers.
You have to know part of an answer in order to ask a question the Knowledge Keeper can answer. Translate that to Moore's situation: * He knows Windows terminology, directory structure, utilities, configurations, etc. Some of that is the same, some different, but until you learn both Windows and Linux you have no idea what is the same and what different. * Number of programs for different purposes in Linux is sometimes much larger then in Windows, sometimes smaller. While programming and system administration is in Linux more then well covered, multimedia, graphics and entertainment are not that good. He had to cover both, admin functions for setting up and administering the network, and education, including multimedia. * He did not have time to learn all that. It takes years, and he had to give some well working solution before mentality to buy (fewer) new Windows machines kicks in and sidetracks his effort. In other words he was forced to learn on the go: * how to deal with community helpers (what is acceptable, what not, whom to trust) * new terms in order to ask proper questions * new programs and their capabilities in order to provide feedback If you are not familiar with a problem then look at the zillion systemd man pages, and that is much smaller problem than what he had. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
