About

atl.wiki is a centralised, easy-to-use reference for the Linux and FOSS ecosystem that provides clear overviews and practical guides for all users of the tools and systems!

Rather than replacing pre-existing documentation and wiki's, we aim to complement them by connecting concepts across distributions and tools as well as highlighting essential references and best practices. You can see more about what content is suitable for the wiki in the guidelines.

You can learn more about our wiki, its history and its staff on the about page. We hope to see you join us in making the wiki a great resource for all users, with your help we can achieve greatness!
