Also, you’re using the BlackArch repo which normally means you’re an advanced user, so searching the forum would be something you’d do before posting a thread asking someone else to search for you.

Thanks for the hasty response.
Simple search for you, not for me.
My search method was inadequate to find the answer, thus i reached out.

-jonathon

in this case it does not mean i am a advanced user, just learning the ins and outs of (networking, linux, computer science related topics i happen to come into.)

I dont understand or appreciate the need for belittlement

Constructive criticism is welcome however...

I believe what Jonathan said to you was constructive if you think about it he was telling you that’s constructive manner that you need to be in advance user to utilize black arch the fullest.

Sometimes constructive criticism isn’t nice

If you read the instructions, you'll know that Garuda BlackArch is provided as-is.

It is not a variant of Garuda that regular users of Linux will choose, as it is for penetration testing. It is for advanced users, and installing it you accept that you are ready for it.

You were assumed to have the abilities of an advanced user by your use of BlackArch. If that’s not you, then you should say thank you for the compliment and move on.
