Arch wiki is an amazing source of practical information. It's like graybeard forums but distilled into a readable text. My last laptop ran Mint distro; whenever I searched around for HW issues it was always their wiki, fully stocked with useful info and steps how to fix stuff.
- froh 5y ago"graybeard forums" = ?
- jmiskovic 5y agoI'm referring to the usenet, mailing lists, various issue trackers and distro-specific forums were knowledgeable people diagnose and solve problems for others. The arch wiki has some of same diagnostics/troubleshooting content in more approachable format and kept up to date. Quite a few times it pointed me in right direction even if I don't use Arch.
- froh 5y agoah so grey haired as in experienced people think John Maddog Hall. got it. thanks.
- fogihujy 5y agoYeah, I'm always amazed when I end up looking at the Arch wiki for a Debian issue, simply because the Arch wiki is more relevant and up to date.
- fierro 5y agowow thanks for calling that out. Just spent an hour browsing through it and was basically an Operating Systems refresher course. Great resource!
