xsub · 2023-05-15T22:44:26Z

Pushing the first batch of Howto Series, 7 pages:

Nginx series (3 articles in 5 pages)
System series (Firewalld & AppStreams, 2 pages).

Are these waiting to be reviewed, or is it being used as a placeholder (sans the WIP ones)? If it's the former, I can start going over them.

andrewlukoshko · 2023-07-24T21:06:26Z

@xsub Compatibility matrix should be updated for 8.8 and 9.2

bennyvasquez · 2023-09-13T14:09:52Z

@codyro looks like he's ready to have these reviewed now, to answer your question.

xsub · 2023-09-15T21:26:38Z

@xsub Compatibility matrix should be updated for 8.8 and 9.2

@andrewlukoshko did just the 9.2 update; I hope that some else spots it and then I can ask him/her to own it :)

Hello there!

After reading the proposed changes on https://purplemanul.puffyclouds.xyz/series/ , I have a list of feedback to provide.

System Series should be renamed to Post Setup (Desktop/Workspace) Series, as most of the topics in this section are geared towards a laptop/desktop setup (Codecs, NVIDIA, etc). In addition, I think that this should be placed above the Nginx Series unless there is a good reason not to.
Most other documentation sites for operation systems place the most generic and important information near the top, and the more specific information near the bottom. I believe that A05 ❯ Multimedia Codecs Installation Guide and A03 ❯ NVIDIA Driver Installation Guide should be swapped around for this reason. More people with a graphics server will want to know how to install codecs, and only a subset of those users will have NVIDIA graphics cards.
The section Firewalld: A Beginner's Guide has a confusing sentence (emphasis mine): "If on remote connection (ssh) Do not to block all incoming traffic, it will cut you out from the remote system."
On the Multimedia Codecs Installation Guide:
- The instructions for installing codes has steps for enabling CRB and adding EPEL 9. This somewhat duplicates instructions for Installing EPEL in the wiki (found here). However, this site linked does not include instructions for enabling CRB. Adding the instructions for enabling CRB should fix and close Extra Repositories Additional EPEL Info #232.
- In addition, the instructions listed will install a new software repository without verifying RPMFusions GPG key. This is a problem because if RPMFusion's mirrors get altered in a hack or some other method, you could then install malicious packages to your systems by accident. A possible solution would be to check and add instructions from Added instructions for installing EPEL and RPM Fusion. #288 on how to install RPMFusion with GPG key verification.

+ELRepo is a community repository for Enterprise Linux distributions (e.g., RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux). It focuses on hardware-related packages to enhance your Linux experience. This is repo provides a kernel (packages) which tracks mainline kernel very closely. In result, this kernel is updated frequently and sometimes it leads to temporary incompatiblity with NVIDIA driver sources.
