Welcome to the All Things Linux Wiki!

This is the official wiki for the All Things Linux Discord server! The aim of this wiki is to provide reliable and informative resources to users of all ability levels of Linux and adjacent FOSS software! If you need support, ensure to check out our Discord server or check the Contacts Section!

How Contributing Works

Any user can register and submit changes to the wiki. However, any changes from new/untrusted users will require approval from a Wiki Admin or a Trusted User. You can find more information on our standards at Contributing.

You can become a trusted user in a few ways. You can join our discord at https://discord.gg/linux and request in the Wiki-Public channel to be promoted to a Trusted User. There are no formal requirements for becoming trusted, but we normally require some history of positive contributions to our or another wiki/source of documentation or have a positive history within the Discord server or the FOSS community. 

If you do not have Discord or wish to request the role another way, you may contact us via the methods listed in the Contacts Section. However, replies will typically be slower than via discord. 

Reporting

If you see a malicious edit/vandalism, you can contact us via the methods in the Contacts Section (Discord Preferred) with the link to the page/user/edit in question, and we will tackle it as soon as possible! If you are a trusted user, you may set the "authorised" revision to the previous one, but do note other trusted users can override this. Always, if possible, avoid edit wars and contact an admin who can mitigate the situation appropriately.
