  Https://forums.linuxmint.com, https://unix.stackexchange.com, and https://askubuntu.com will likely be more helpful than reddit or discord, but you must commit to troubleshooting; providing the system info you're asked for, providing logs, trying solutions that might or might not work.

  Linux is all about learning, though almost anything you need help with or are stuck at are resolvable through a single Google (or any other search engine) search, there are communities to ask help for incase they don't.

• Out-of-nowhere-restarts while using Pop!_OS 22.04

  An alternate explanation is a Linux Kernel bug that is specific to your system. If my suggestion above doesn't yield anything of value I'd start asking around places like https://unix.stackexchange.com/ about how to debug the problem under the presumption that it's a Linux Kernel issue you're trying to identify.

• Golden Drake Linux: Arch for gamers and game developers!

  PLEASE NOTE: 1. In some cases, the "Auto-partition with Encrypted LVM" option may fail completely or may seem to succeed and yet result in a system that doesn't boot properly, so you may want to avoid that option for now. This is a known issue and still being investigated. 2. The standard method for installing Arch is to follow the ArchWiki's installation guide, completing each step via command line according to...
