Cis straight male Arch user checking in. There’s all kinds of us, everyone is welcome to wear what they like and feel what they feel.
Ask for help and help you shall have. (It’ll just… it’ll be someone giving you a link to a wiki page, or the wiki page, or saying “check the wiki”, BUT YOU WILL BE HELPED BECAUSE THE WIKI IS GO(O)D!)
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.
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documentation is frankly embarassing compared to Arch’s. There’s some good stuff like Debian Administrator’s Handbook (outdated tho) and the upgrade instructions for each stable release, but a lot of the Debian wiki information is outdated and riddled with dead links.
