Honestly to me if you are using a different OS, make no claim to using > Arch and you decide to post to here to find an answer, a poking is well > deserved. A poking, or an RTFM, sure. All I'm saying is that what you posted doesn't help the noob. RTFM helps the noob. Pointing out that this place has nothing to do with Mint, even mockingly (even at Drepper levels of intensity), helps the noob. "Making a joke" that is only a joke to people who know enough not to do the thing the noob did does not help the noob. It's not your responsibility to help, it's also not your responsibility to hinder. We were all dumb noobs once, and I for one don't feel good if I plant misinformation in someones head, intentionally or not. YMMV, of course.
