    I don’t care if settings are done by GUI or terminal, I just want clear and concise descriptions for specific settings and not a condescending “go read the man pages you fucking noob”. I’ve been fucking with Linux for over a decade now; a lack of clear documentation is not my problem, and at this point is unacceptable.

      go read the man pages you fucking noob

      And when you actually go and read the man page, it says some shit like “Some of these options are not fully documented. For an accurate description of their functionality, consult the source code”

      Especially when the settings are named the same/similar as other apps but do different things

      Just fucking comment line quickly what the fucking thing does you dickheads, or use your settings page for more than 3 things and stop hiding everything else in your fucking .YAML (also Stop using .YAML)

        YAML is good for scripting services (like docker stacks), but otherwise I agree, stop using it for absolutely everything.

      Well seems to me that the lack of clear documentation is in fact your problem.

      I mean, fucking around for a decade?!
