That's the most valuable aspect of it. When you find yourself in these niches situations, it's nice when you see someone has encountered it and has done the legwork to solve it, saving you hours and days. And that's why Wikis like the Arch Wiki are important. You need people to document the system, not just individual components.

the Gentoo Wiki is also high on my list, actually first because Gentoo is my preferred choice, equal in terms of useful content, only second in userbase - to Arch. Gentoo also implemented a policy prohibiting people from contributing LLM output. Theres not a culty rule-following edit-sanitization mod team, and the wiki doesnt require special permission, just the honor system, but so far its enough to make me like contributing to it is a form of charity to help future mankind.
