For example, I’m using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it “friendlier” for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be “the universal operating system”.
I also think we could learn website design from… looks at notes …everyone else.
Debian is so hecking unstable for me omg… For some reason it just doesn’t play well with any hardware setup I’ve ever tried.
Anyways, I use arch Linux which could REALLY do with a nice wiki overhaul by now. It’s not beginner friendly AT ALL! Been using the same install for almost 3 years now I think, but man… When I have to figure out something, the wiki isn’t the first thing I’ll go anymore.
EDIT: Why the downvotes?
That’s like saying you don’t get pyramids because they tip over so easily. It sounds like a you problem.
Downvote because i like the arch wiki very much and it was beginner friendly enough for me, tho (installed arch as a noob recently)
(Well I did not really downvote to be honest, but if I did, that would be the reason)
Hm, weird. I tried following to wiki to fix some Bluetooth issues I had. It didn’t fix my issue and on top of that it’s all over the place.
Man, I feel like some people treat the wiki as a hecking Bible omg…
The Arch Linux wiki has been the best source for information for a long time for me. Many years ago the Gentoo wiki was good as well, till they lost all content and had to start from scratch.

What happened? Now you got me curious
Let’s see. 15 years. Hosting company didn’t pay the bills. All gone. No backups.
I use Debian but still use the Arch wiki quite often. It’s a great resource. I improve Debian’s wiki where I can (eg I wrote a few sections on this page: https://wiki.debian.org/NFSServerSetup) but it’s just not the same.
If Debian fails in the same predictable way every time, for the same reason, it could be argued that it’s very stable, just not functional :) What kind of hardware do you use by the way?
It fails to run after a few days on several different laptops I’ve tried it on. Also on my main computer which is an amd 3900x with 64gb ram and a 3090. Arch however works perfectly fine, which is odd as heck
