The special instructions for other distros could be at risk for being deleted, as "something that will not work on Arch as-is is not something we will be hosting on our site".
- giancarlostoro 1y agoFeels like someone needs to make a generic Linux wiki then.
- Xss3 1y agoThe arch wiki could expand to support distro switching, with each distro having its own domain, and all that could link back to a general linux wiki. It'd be beautiful.
- giancarlostoro 1y agoThey already had it fine, now its out of their scope.
- m463 1y agoI think one reason the arch wiki thrives is that it IS a generic linux wiki. The arch wiki describes the upstream package. I say this because Arch tries to use the upstream software as-is, and describes requirements and helps make configuration choices. Other distributions tend to make the choices for you, configuring and modifying upstream to fit the distribution. With respect to a wiki, this would be another layer of documentation to add. Describe the package, describe the distro, and explain the configuration choices.
