I guess I’m just lucky, but I’ve gotten nothing but thoughtful support on Arch forums and Stackoverflow. If you read the article How do I ask a good question?, it works very well. It seems harsh but coming with poorly thought out questions without debugging details makes it impossible to help.

Same honestly. And if I ever ask a question that someone might think is a duplicate, I link to that question and say something like "I found X, but the answers here don't reflect Y".
