[Suggestion] Listing more resources under the Help Page

[Jeremy-Svendsen]

Hello!

I've been using Linux Mint for 7~ish months now and it has been a great experience. I've been wanting to help contribute so here is my first attempt!

When I made the switch to Linux, the welcome menu was a great introduction for setting things up. One thing I never used however was the web forums or IRC chat room, they were new to me and I mostly ignored it. Any help that I needed was found either through Reddit or Discord. So my suggestion is that they are listed in the help section.

I did some playing around myself and managed to add this functionality for fun, here is what it looks like.

Now I do understand why this may not be a desired feature, reasons maybe being:

• They are community based and not entirely within the teams control
• Its not just a place for asking questions, but also to socialize with the bonus of offering help.
• Adding on, they aren't great for finding previously asked questions like the forums.

Some reasons for going through with it could be:

• More options for users to find a place they already know & are comfortable with
• Possibly get more involved with the community directly

This is just my insight and I wanted to share with others, i'd be interested to see what others think. Thank you for reading & let me know if there is anything I did wrong or could do better :)

In my opinion a good idea, but it must be mentioned that they are unofficial. It emphasizes that the (now matrix) chat and mint forum are superior to the Reddit and discord community, because those are approved by the devs.
