@RandomPerson No, it's a good question. It can benefit from editing though. Do you want to edit it? (I can do it to, but I thought you can earn some rep.)
Is this question really too broad? It seems like a very specific question to me.
Also most of the commenters have misunderstood the question as being for how to create a distro from scratch, instead of a package from scratch. Archisman's comment is a good pointer. I'm not sure if the question is a duplicate of that.
@BeastOfCaerbannog I suggest you do it as I do not have the knowledge about NVIDIA drivers in Ubuntu. Rep. is just a number in my opinion (at least for now, my opinion might change in the future). It's the efforts which matter.
@RandomPerson OK. You're partially right about rep. It doesn't really indicate the actual effort of someone, but is necessary to unlock privileges that allow you to further contribute in the site.
Like being able to edit posts without needing approval from other members (you need 2000 rep for that).
Yeah, I agree about the privileges. Anyway, if I reach 1K rep., the only privilege which I will have access to is seeing upvotes and downvotes. I need 2K rep. to edit posts I guess. I have no clue if I will reach 2K rep. anytime soon. It's a huge number..
This doesn't look like a good answer: askubuntu.com/a/1345438. It should be a comment right? Should I flag it as not an answer.
@BeastOfCaerbannog I think flagging it as NAA would suffice instead of using "something else" and informing mod as the NAA description states "This was posted as an answer, but it does not attempt to answer the question. It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether."
@BeastOfCaerbannog it's clearly an adequately specific question for our format as indicated by the brief yet detailed and comprehensive answer
Sorry folks i was having a bad day. It was ubuntu and i figured out the problem. Natural scrolling was on in ubuntu tweak but it only affected google chrome nothing else. — ChrisJul 5 '12 at 21:40
@RandomPerson You don't have to be a Linux Guru to give a good answer. Most of the questions are about practical things, so they need practical, well-written answers. For the things needing in-depth knowledge there are other users who can provide that. The more you get your hands on providing help the more knowledge you gain. Hopefully, in the future, you (also me) could be able to provide some deeper answers!
@RandomPerson You remember well! It's not bad, it's not great either. In the same time other users have achieved much greater rep gains (matigo, Kulfy, Zanna, etc).
@RandomPerson sorry I'm just fooling around... pretending that we're in a totalitarian dictatorship where it's compulsory to express love and devotion to the leader however terrible they are
Community♦ is not really our supreme leader, just a very useful bot with mod powers
@RandomPerson mod activity can be quite hard to spot, especially if you aren't able to see deleted posts. In addition to those you mentioned, Ravexina is handling many flags these days. Our other mods are not very active here just at the moment
I rarely accept answers on meta. Accepts have a different meaning there. I accepted Catija's answer because it's definitive and final as the outcome of our attempt to request having the limit changed
on meta sites I usually only accept answers that I think should be considered definitive. Otherwise I rarely accept because it feels like I'm imposing my opinion
@BeastOfCaerbannog To those reading the transcript in future, meaning of Mohawk: "a hairstyle with a narrow center strip of usually upright hair and the sides of the head shaved"
@RandomPerson Thanks for letting me know! However I'd say that the question is a bit unclear, as the OP doesn't say how they tried to install pandas. Also "(it keeps finding incompatible packages, if you let the "installation" continue)", but they don't say which packages and they don't provide the exact error. I could ask about these in a comment, but since they've reinstalled Ubuntu and everything works, the question has become no-repro I suppose.
