Awards and needless System messages "Awards"

[Thatsme]

This messages “you got first Onebox” “first mention” first Link" is for kindergarden and nerves.

Do Manjaro really need this? I think this “gimmicks” are for facebook teenies.

I wait for answers, klick on my Avatar and then there is only a shit stupid Information about any stupid Award.

You’re the first one ever to publicly voice an opinion about this.

You’re probably an advanced user that doesn’t need any hand-holding and that:

• knows markdown
• can use any forum software as it comes naturally to you. (E.G. you’ve actually entered information in your profile )
• is an old fart like me and can’t remember that they they ever were young and stupid

Most beginners aren’t used to https://discourse.com (the platform this forum uses) and “gamification” of the forum software attracts and helps these people though, so just pipe this command straight into your brain:

SET IGNORE_MODE=ON

P.S. Any time someone any question / comment / answer you’ll post, the system will notify you too.

Why do people have to be so aggressive about things they see differently

It’s just annoying when I see a notification in the bar and then it’s not an answer to my question, but just a system hint.
If you could at least separate this into “new answer to a question” and “other hint”, then I could at least ignore it.
Everything else steals my time to retrieve for unnecessary messages.

@ Fabby
I didn’t forget that I was young and I am in a lot of cases more yound than teenies.
But to have fun is for other places, not for IT Problems.

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the trees for the wood any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking: Why is this so much more difficult than Windows? Whereas in 6 months time, you’ll be like: Why can’t I make Windows jump through hoops like I do with Linux??? So, below …
