The Arch Wiki is alright if you run Arch, but I definitely prefer well-written and fully up-to-date manpages from the offset. For starters, it doesn't require me to open a web browser first; it also doesn't depend on me having network connectivity at any particular time.
My take is definitely different from GP: I find FreeBSD to have a much better documentation story compared to Linux (even Arch).
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y ago> The Arch Wiki is alright if you run Arch No, it's pretty broadly useful; I've used it on at least Ubuntu, Fedora, and centos. It helps that Arch is pretty close to upstream, so docs are usually pretty generic. I can't disagree about offline docs and the extraordinary quality of BSD manpages, though:)
- jhvkjhk 6y agoYeah I see Arch Wiki as Linux Wiki when I’m using Ubuntu.(and Ask Ubuntu as Ask Linux)
- avhception 6y agoI've even used the arch wiki when setting up stuff on FreeBSD, because it covers a whole lot of 3rd party software - some of which runs on FreeBSD as well.
