by all means, ask the question AFTER a direct answer

As original commenter pointed out, by the time they commented there were 12 direct answers to the question, none of which were likely to solve any problems. I think you're qualifying your statement after the fact to regain ground

I was weirded out by the 12288 filesize. If anyone else is wondering.

But you tell them how to disable and reenable their graphics driver, then xorg crashes, their problem isn't solved and they give up. This question is "what is the problem you are trying to fix?"

That answer will help someone more than giving them an answer that won't fix anything

I'm not sure that's true in a lot of linux use cases. Linux and windows handle drivers very differently. There are a lot of graphics problems which have nothing to do with the driver, and when they do it's usually wrong driver instead of driver acting up

But, ubuntu is great for beginners, and i've always had good success with debian, although I'd point beginners to find an installer with non-free firmware until you know what's going on

In the early days, it was laborwave and esoteric websites, the programmer humor seems relatively new to me
