I ask some carefully phrased questions that get various useless
answers.
Some recent answers have been:
1. That is an "XY Problem"
2. Don't do that.
3. I know how but won't tell you as someone else may read answer
and carelessly
apply it, resulting in a bollixed system.
I get a chuckle about that one as I was asking how to run
Gnome2 with root
privileges. Jessie MATE allows me to simply login as root.
4. You are making life difficult for yourself.
*NO*, the system designers have made decisions suitable for
the mythical
"typical"(sic) user. I don't have unlimited infinitely fast
internet nor even
bleeding edge hardware. My vision isn't what is was >50 years
ago.
Is there a mailing list or USENET forum with a culture that
assumes that:
1. one actually meant to ask the question as stated.
2. one is responsible enough to accept that unthinking use of
answers can have
"un-nice" effects ;/
I've pretty much settled on Debian, but like some features of
Slackware and Linux from Scratch.
Thank you.
