Ahh clearly Arch users didn't RTFM before installing shit. Skill issue.

PS: The above is an invitation to self-care, not an insult.

    I must say, Read The Fucking Manual is a bit more clear than Read The Friendly Manual.

    I disagree with the post you put here on a single thing: the manual is sometimes bad, by either not describing everything, or being unclear.

    Best not to read any then, if it might be bad.

    I've seriously gone through manuals in languages foreign to me and still learnt something from it.

    My partner doesn't and will only use the basic features of tech. I read the manual, and I'm suddenly a wizard because I got two Bluetooth speakers to pair with each other and get stereo from them.

    Reading the manual clearly won't help with the issue here. This is clearly not an appropriate use of RTFM terminology here, because it does not apply. The problem here is not that the user needs to read before asking for help. The problem here is to understand the changes made in the script are malicious. And reading the manual won't help with that.
