I don't use Arch anymore, yet I still find myself reading their wiki from time to time. It's a phenomenal resource.

I don't even use Arch, but I agree that their Wiki is awesome. Unless my problem is super obscure (and sometimes even then), I can nearly always find an answer there. But the best part is that it seems to be never incorrect, unlike essentially every other result in Google.

I also find myself using https://man.archlinux.org/ a lot. It's much more readable/user-friendly than https://man7.org plus it contains man-pages from their `extra` repo which contains a lot of popular oss tooling.

unfortunately there's a trend lately where many newer cli tools don't have a man page. they put up a --help and think it suffices
even though there are tools to automatically generate man pages those days

I agree. If it can be launched from the command line, it deserves a man page.

That's great! I didn't know that Arch had online manpages too. I frequently use https://manpages.debian.org/ for similar reasons.
Me too. I tried various of distros before, archwiki is the best thing. I learned so much Linux knowledge from it.

Not to worry: I try a lot of distros and still use the Arch wiki regardless. There are some things that differ between distros, but it's pretty generally applicable:)

Their wiki is what sold me on Arch. I ended up there solving most of my problems on other distros, and if they can make such a fine wiki, I figured they could make a great OS (which they did).

I came here to post a similar comment. I decided to use Arch because the documentation is amazing. And I wasn't disappointed. It's become my favorite distro.
