I’ve got to confess, I have for years been guilty if not reading the documentation. I simply go with the flow and hope it works…

But not anymore! And why the change you may ask? We’ll, I’m reading the f…ing documentation on Rocky linux and I’m just blown away from the amount of great information!

If you’ve been guilty of not reading the documentation, let me me know what changed it for you

If you’re not reading the documentation, this is your time to confess!

    If documentation is written in a readable and confluent way, RTFM isn’t such a big deal. The issue comes with overly draconian and non-confluent documentation.

      There is a way with chmod in bash to change files and folders with files getting no execute bit and folder do (rwX instead of rwx). It’s in the man pages but good luck finding it via Google. Stackoverflow just suggests using find over and over again.

      That did it for me.

        Flowing/coming together.

        I think what they are referring to are docs where pieces are explained individually, but not in a consistent or cohesive way, obfuscating use.
