    Maybe tell us what you need the documentation for… Writing kernel modules? Installing distros? Configuring software? Archlinux wiki is a very good general reference, btw.

        Yeah, I mean for linux in general, everything around linux

        Waves hand in the general direction of the internet. It’s all there.

        Seriously, hone in a bit. Like “I’m a complete noob where do I start” or “I installed Mint and it works fine, now what?”

        Something like that

          More than, “I’m a complete noob where do I start, where do I learn, why, who, where, when”

            One of the first lessons to learn is how to ask questions.

            The doggedness on tripling down on “I want to know everything” is remarkable but it is not going to get you a result.

            Your best starting point until you are able to articulate a more focussed question is the Arch wiki as already suggested.

            Do a bare bones arch install on a PC you don’t care about breaking (a very old one with limited hardware perhaps) while following the arch install instructions on the wiki.

            If you’re a noob then you’ll constantly run into terms you don’t understand look them up as you go.

            Ciao and good luck.

            End of lime

              Answers like this is why people stay out of Linux, you want to get in and the first thing they say is “learn to ask a question!!!”

              If you couldn’t tell OP was a beginner from the second question, then you are not good at understanding questions.
