Unintended cosequences following disto-specific tutorials

I do not intend this to poke fun at the user who did this. I just thought it was extremely funny.

Using the arch wiki to edit xorg.conf

One of the first steps is to install xorg-server using the arch package manager.


pacman -Syu xorg-server

But if you type that into ubuntu .......

Not what you'd expect following instruction on how to set up your display.

But good fun all the same.

Heh, it's not even a correct command for Arch :p

It's a shame that the game would just crash because the X server was not installed. :p

No, he had a running desktop, but was having trouble with dual monitors.

So he used google (as you would) and discovered about editing the xorg.conf

So google then provides the Arch wiki.

I remeber being new to all this and copying and pasting what looked like random gibberish off the internet. I wouldn't have known the difference between arch and ubuntu, or even what arch was. I probably wouldn't have noticed it said pacman.

But I'd have given it a go in an effort to fix my problem.

I wouldn't have expected to start playing pacman though.
