## {{ hl("tech", "Tech help") }}

If you want to ask for tech support with LaTeX or Linux, there are a couple
channels in my personal Discord where you might get responses.
If you do have a question:

- Try search engine first.
- Always paste code as text (or pastebin, etc.); **do not use screenshots**.
- For LaTeX always include a
[minimal working example](https://www.texfaq.org/FAQ-minxampl).
- For Linux, write what commands you typed and the output.
First, at the risk of stating the obvious, try search engines.
If that fails, there are a couple channels in my personal Discord
where you might get responses.

If you do have a question for me or my Discord, note two important guidelines:

- You must include a
[minimal working example (MWE)](https://www.texfaq.org/FAQ-minxampl).

- For LaTeX, this means: post a complete file, starting from `\documentclass`
and ending with `\end{document}`, that shows the issue.
This way I can compile the code myself and then try to edit it.

- For Linux issues, show the commands you typed and their output.

- Similarly for other languages; provide a full self-contained example.

- You should send the code as text or pastebin so that I can copy it.
Do not use a screenshot.
