About this wiki
Starting June 4th 2020, this wiki will be a collection of all the issues I, Philippe Iannetta, have faced and will face on my Linux machine and in my experience as a sysadmin.
It remains incomplete, and I suspect it always will be. I have encountered SO many issues… It would be almost impossible to document everything, and this is why I believe everyone should make this wiki theirs. If you wish to see something in this wiki, you need only ask. If you have any suggestions, do not hesitate to contact me or send me a pull request.
In August 2026, Luca from semplicemente.io gave a more modern look to the FreeWiki. I would like to officially thank him here as I find this new design much better than the previous one. Dont’ hesitate to check out his work!
