From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good for you too. I am not worried about your anecdotal claims, just the way you do not care. Same conflicting energy here. I clean camera lenses as well with leather cloth, so I know pretty well how sensitively surfaces should be treated. Camera lenses is as sensitive as it gets.
People who get affected the most are people that do not know how to perform the procedure, and do one of these two mistakes – they spray diluted alcohol directly on screen and clean, and/or even if they use a cleaning cloth or tissue with alcohol, they will not follow it up with a clean water and dry wipe.
The proper procedure to clean screens is to use diluted alcohol on a tissue or leather cloth patch, clean the screen AND THEN immediately follow it up with a water soaked cloth wipe and then a dry wipe.
Good luck cleaning oily greasy dust off screens with just water. Maybe give us that magical water too.
I don't know why you came after my comment so harsh on the first thing I mentioned. I understand its your guide that you created and put time into but take the criticism when you can because it will only make it better. Your guide doesn't state any of what you just stated it just tells people to use alcohol.
at some point it was told to me to not use alcohol and that is still a true statement but it seems if you do use rubbing alcohol you need to make sure its 70 at the very most.
you should also probably state that the user should use a fine microfiber close to suede like not the fluffy kind.
I am done with this circle jerk. there is not right or wrong between us as we are both correct there is just one thing to make sure is update the guide to reflect what you wrote above.
This is why. Read up on Newton's Third Law of Motion.
You first rejected something that is correct in terms of chemistry, and you then expect me to take you seriously? Your claim that alcohol, regardless of its concentration amount, is the same, is unintelligent, which is the basis of your tripling down on misinformation.
There is a right and wrong, when it comes to science. And you are the wrong one here. Its best to know when to quit yapping in life, takes you a long way.
When people clean something as delicate as an electronic screen, it is a given that they will not use sandpaper or a scrub to clean it. I assume that in my guide that they will use either a tissue paper or a microfiber cloth like a muslin cloth or an old worn shirt or vest, which is just about everyone who uses a smartphone with a tempered glass protector these days. This is not 2010.
You've never worked in IT or any business. Trust but verify and to assume no knowledge, especially when giving a comprehensive guide like that.
I've also edited my comment with a couple of guides that back up my statement
Great, so now you are also not just going all out on misinformation, but also making armchair assumptions on the internet? Never met such an entitled person who just keeps putting himself on a higher pedestal with every comment. Learn to be more grounded.
I founded r/privatelife, and now moved to Lemmy entirely. I actually have a pretty well known non root smartphone hardening guide, among other guides related to threat modelling. And I daily drive Debian Stable, so its not a good idea to lecture me like that.
If you only told me that my wording was incorrect, I would have noticed the issue. I have noticed it now. Why did you not simply tell me the wording had an issue?
