Hear hear! Arch's wiki is the top resource I'd bring with me to a deserted island that only has unix computers on it and I could only bring one resource.
Not sure if there is anything on there is actually specific to Arch Linux, as everything you can run/is run on Arch Linux can be run elsewhere. Even pacman/articles about packaging is not specific to Arch but specific to pacman and it's packaging. You have any examples of Arch-specific articles on there?
- walrus01 6y agoMostly I would say the arch specific material is related to how arch's package management system updates daemons, and any arch specific configuration for systemd vs how systemd is implemented on a more 'mainstream' linux like Debian stable. Generally the arch specific stuff is less than 5% of the content vs general configuration info about the daemon. And other fundamental system level stuff like how grub2 and booting is handled on Arch, or full disk encryption, etc. I have also seen some instances where the arch maintainers who package some daemons choose the installation location and configuration location for stuff in a different file tree structure. And cases where the default out of the box configuration for the daemon is different on Arch than on another Linux.
