I tend to agree with your sentiment that a “Newbies Section” or “Beginners Guide” would be a good idea for forum specific question. I tried using the search tool for “Beginners Guide” and “New User” and got no results. A small section with pinned posts that would give some useful tips on how to use the forum. Perhaps things like:
[HowTo] Post a question
[HowTo] Search the forum
[HowTo] Find error messages
[HowTo] Provide system information
[HowTo] Increase your chances of solving your issue
All of these already exist in the tutorials but are buried under many other [HowTo] tutorials.
Information about using Manjaro seems to get lost in the fog too, things like ‘[HowTo] become a manjaro power user when you’re a wizard at windows but a n00b at manjaro linux’
This is just someone own spin on the Manjaro Wiki “Using Manjaro for Windows users” they could have just redirected to Manjaro Wiki and saved the confusion. Redirects like this to Manjaro Wiki and Arch Wiki could help a new user enormously with basic questions.
The argument could be made that people should look there anyway, but like you say, most want an instant no thinking answer. LOL… maybe just one pinned message [HowTo] Use Manjaro.
It would be a big job but could make a good project if someone was willing.
