How To get Help [Beginners] (very early guide almost empty)

By Pixelzul

a guide so people can link it to have a common ground in how to ask for help in the Linux Gaming Comunity, a sort of landing page for troubleshooting with beginner users of linux with gaming, currently as one my self, feel free to add anything of value to the guide,

(like those guides i make i tend to build upon previous ideas that i have forgot, and in spare time so expect a very slow growing guide)
also i am obligated to publish it so it appears with an image, i wanted it hidden but it didn't work, sorry for the inconvenience

How to get Help

A guide a sort of common sense in the linux community while asking for help, a guide i would liked to see as a newbie my self, i inted it to be placed on my linux gmod comunity so anyone gets what to publish without filling to much space

i thought of it as sort of a quick access or landing page for linux gaming to make it more accessible

but it would be nice if be of some use for someone else

"Just remember to seek if someone else have a similar thread already open so everyone can help in a single place."

Here i will detail what is needed to facilitate people to help you, and directly get into the matter rather than exchange messages soliciting information.

I recommend writing you post in two parts, the first like you were going to in the first place with titles like "help, black screen after playing gmod", are great for other people to find your problem!, but not for fixing it. , then
I advice following a real Linux Forum Guide Line to review you own post so is easier to understand what is happening and getting it fixed.

So is better if you format your main title using your reviewed version, and the subtitle with the original one, so people like you would find it easier without previous knowledge, and people can help you. the best of both worlds.

why? so people with similar problems that would write something like you wrote originally on your title will find this place. but we are going to also be able to help you.

get creative and create titles you would have searched! put them as subtitles and people will access to your post more easily

(note for me:) Probably will create another called Troubleshooting 2 or something since sometimes a more indeep troubleshooting for actually fixing it is required instead of just asking for help.

Interesting for those with constant crashes:
