Yes the user guide to specific information to return necessary info’s for helping. And not say 100 times the same in a initial reply.
For example someone says, after update of kernel my wifi not works anymore (Initial topic).
We could respond then: Please open the #ask-hardware document and read there the section for WIFI/Network problems. There we do explain that in Linux, Hardware with closed source Drivers, have to be updated because Closed Source driver are not available for Linux on new Kernels. There we can also mention that we would need output from inxi -N && uname -sr as a minimum of information.
On #ask-software in the other hand we could make a index with drivers for the network hardware we asked before. Link to docs/quickdocs and other resources as gitlab/hub etc who show how to get the hardware running (again).
The ask prefix for forwarding links, not tags to categorize. If you put this start-here after the domain you get to the topic where also links #start-here
#start-here was forwarding to a doc from @ankursinha
faq to one from @hhlp this even was a wiki that we could participate and help to keep it up to date.
