The wall of Shame

Tutorials & Guides
#1

This thread focuses on an undesirable side of Linux:
Bad Guides on the Internet.

Some have useless information, some have outdated information and some have dangerous information. There are even some that harvest information.

Please post sites, guides, threads, etc. you find that are a "Bad Guide" to help others users know which to avoid.

I will begin with: https://tutorialforlinux.com/

A generic beginning rather than a particular page... This site is pretty much useless in every way.

I am glad you made my suggestion materialise :slight_smile:

I quickly glanced this site over and saw the left side pane has this entry:

Coronavirus Best Natural Remedies for Protection/Cure

It is a telltale sign of a clickbait scam.
Luckily I was not drinking coffee :coffee: so there was no danger posed for my monitor.
