Parent article: Arch shares its wiki strategy with Debian
I don't mean this in any disrespect for Debian, but if there is an operating system where I think such deep knowledge like the Arch wiki has is needed, it is Debian. It has a large amount of different software which can be set up in so many ways just like Arch. I say this as someone who never got a Debian to install from scratch without extra help until premade vm's and clouds were available. [I think it is because I come from a Red Hat RPM background so certain choices I would make in the install seemed obvious to me and obviously bad to the person who would end up fixing my mistakes.]
The Debian documentation has been my second goto after the Arch wiki because it does go into deep things on software but I usually need the Arch wiki to find the proper terms to get a search engine to pull up the relevant Debian documentation. Hopefully the items which Arch has found successful can be useful or at least inspire things which would help someone like me figure out things.
