- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

3. Post Linux-related content

I'm not afraid of Ubuntu, I'm afraid of the need to use the the Ubuntu forums when I have an issue.
I use arch wiki btw.
I recently switched to Eos and the arch wiki came in clutch many times (don’t try to an arch based system on a Mac without reading a ton of documentation, I learned that the hard way).
Only Ubuntu I’ve seen rtfm more than actually helpful commands
Really? All Linux installations worked just fine on my 2017 Air
Perhaps yours is an older model?
It is indeed a bit older, 2015 pro. Most issues were with the WiFi (bcm46302 is a terrible chip omfg).
Besides that just some reverse engineered drivers for thermal management, but setting those up was more annoying on mint than on arch
