  • archwiki

    MediaWiki used on Arch Linux websites (read-only mirror)

    • Arch is extremely well-documented.

  • pop-os-rootfs

    Discontinued Unmodified, repackaged liveOS rootfs

    • So, if you want to avoid the potential conflicts of interest and the crappy Unity desktop, I recommend trying out PopOS! (made by a company that builds laptops for Linux) or Mint.
