Don't tell me you think #Linux #Documentation is adequate.

Go install CachyOS and somehow manage to change both the console font in Limine, and upon bootup, and then tell me the documentation is adequate.

I give up. I'll just squint while logging in. You'd think stuff would be smart enough to say "Gee, the screen is 1080p, maybe let's not use an 8x16 console font. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@rl_dane I always assume with Linux, the answer is, "documentation... what documentation?" It does make me glad when I do find some, as I take nothing for granted.

Not like other platforms are any better.

Au contraire, mon frère!

#FreeBSD has a handbook that covers almost every basic config situation you'd face.
#OpenBSD has man pages covering nearly everything
I haven't gotten very deep into #NetBSD, but I'm sure its documentation is on point.
#9front has... 9front has... 9front has some very nice people on fedi who will tell you turn back now while there's still time πŸ˜‚

The documentation experience on Linux is various forum posts telling you to try various things, none of which work, and maybe some obtuse documentation text file on kernel.org. Egad.

@rl_dane @dfloyd888

Install NetBSD.

Contrary to my bio, this post is, in fact, an official statement.

@rl_dane @dfloyd888
Linux has the Arch Wiki which is pretty good

but otherwise the documentation is often lacking, yeah
