RTFM

This one really sucked post 2001 or so when everything stopped coming with a fucking manual to read. What M and I supposed to R, guy?

    It's not meant as an actual manual. What you're really supposed to do is comb through ad-ridden google results until you find that one 10 years old reddit thread where someone thanks a deleted comment for solving the issue you have.

    I wasn't gonna upvote you, but that one made me chuckle. Also because I have posted many of those "deleted comments" and wiped my reddit profile as clean as I could before leaving years ago.

    The only time it's been kind of relevant in my dealings is the Arch wiki, because it really is a solid resource. However, sometimes my issue is a specific one and I need more than general information on a process. RTFM ruins communities when someone is looking for support. It's just an entitled response to someone asking for help.
