Ask HN: What are the best maintained how-to sites for Linux?

The helpfulness of the ArchWiki for people who don't use Arch can't be stated enough. As a user of several distros, this is my go-to documentation regardless of which distro I'm working with.

It's (almost) like the MDN of Linux.

I'd say the MDN of linux is man-pages, which is browsable online at https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/index.html

Arch Linux also has a man page browser (with IMO a slightly nicer interface, especially on mobile), which includes all packages in the default Arch repositories (but not the AUR): https://man.archlinux.org

I don't agree. Man pages are specific to distro and version of the command. It's always better to read manpages which are present on your particular distro.

I use arch specifically because of the arch wiki
