❤️ Thank you to the #Archlinux Wiki maintainers! ❤️

#Maintainers in general, and maintainers of documentation most of the time get way too little recognition for their contributions to #SoftwareFreedom.

ArchWiki is one of the pearls of the internet! That's why I dedicated my this year's #ilovefs post to the #ArchWiki maintainers!

I love the work of the ArchWiki maintainers

For this year's "I love Free Software Day" I would like to thank the maintainers of Free Software documentation, and here especially the maintainers of the ArchWiki.

@kirschner a lot of the times I have to install development tools for class, and I am always able to install and set them up 10x quicker than anyone else thanks to the Arch wiki 😜

@kirschner I am currently back to NixOS, but I started with ArchLinux. (well kind of. When I was much younger I used Ubuntu for a bit, but that was before I really was into computers)

Arch got me into Linux after gaming on Windows computers and using a Macbook for school stuff. I was pleased when I was able to fully manually install Arch without consulting the wiki guide!

The wiki has helped me with so many things though, not even just on Arch. Its proven useful when setting up Fedora and other distros as well. A lot of good general Linux information there.

@kirschner The #ArchWiki is the reason why I've been using #ArchLinux for about 13 years.

@kirschner Truly, the #ArchWiki is by far the best source of Linux documentation on the net.

On the picture I and @fsfe 's vice president Heiki thank the @archlinux Project Lead @anthraxx (with one of the most awesome sweaters🥰 ) and
#ArchWiki maintainer Ferdinand at #FOSDEM after handing over two bars of "hacker chocolate" to them.

Thanks also to @Foxboron for ensuring we were able to met at #FOSDEM and introducing us there.
