    Migrating my workflow to NixOS right now, and it’s really made me realize just how good Arch Wiki is. NixOS and Nix are a bit disjointed in terms of documentation and learning resources. But Arch Wiki usually helps me gain intuition for which software does what and what traits I’m able to configure.

    Non-Arch-Linux Linux users should absolutely consider the Arch Wiki when troubleshooting or learning about the Linux ecosystem! I’m not sure there’s a better broadly-applicable resource out there.

      The Arch Wiki is the resource to go to. It’s usually one of the first places I look for info, and one of the first I recommend – for users of any distro. Has been for a long time.

      Arch wiki is awesome, I’ve been using Debian and Debian-derivatives for 10+ years and Debian’s documentation is frankly embarassing compared to Arch’s. There’s some good stuff like Debian Administrator’s Handbook (outdated tho) and the upgrade instructions for each stable release, but a lot of the Debian wiki information is outdated and riddled with dead links.
