Oh man I didn’t know about that feature, it is really well made
Yeah its pretty good.
I’ll need to spend a little time and update that topic a little with some new info this week.
Isn’t it better to have a separate topic for discussion instead making a link to here ?
Likely yes, but for the moment, we got this. Id rather have a sub category that isn’t listed so all wiki topics could have a scratch / talk page. (might see if i can get this done soon)
Can you see this page
https://forum.level1techs.com/t/getting-windows-subsystem-for-linux-talk-page/125930Yes. testing 1234 …
Neet. you can post to it?
That’ll be our “meta talk” area for topics. @wendell made the good point of having discussion of wiki topics in their relevant forum sections for general discussion as well, which i think works. and i think this hidden category will work nicely for wiki topic meta chat / scratch pads.
How is it gonna be used by normal users if you cant visit it unless you have the link ? I don’t know I don’t like the idea of it being hidden.
I am going to add the link to the category in this page, or in the about page for the wiki category so people can get to it when they are creating new topics.
Otherwise itll be linked in the individual topics to their own meta topics.
on that note… can you see the WSL talk page topic listed here? https://forum.level1techs.com/c/wiki
@anon79053375 if you want a talk page for your guide you can make one here fyi https://forum.level1techs.com/c/wiki/wiki-meta
Want me to wikifi your post?
Yes plz. Thank you! Trying to figure out how the wiki section works lol ihavenoideawhatimdoing
I’m gonna put down some info and links to the relevant areas. Not sure if we can make topics auto wikifiy themselves or not yet.
Maybe make a script on the bot to start a new discussion thread when a new topic is created in the wiki-howto section. Or if it can only react when is tagged make a command when tagged in this forum section to instantly make a new topic and post a link. Then all that the wiki creators must do is tag the bot at the end of the article.
Yeah I’m gonna look and see if there’s an easy way to do this. Might look on Sunday I should have a little time.
Ah yeah i still have to overlook the whole list and maybe i could make some additions to it.
Allthough i have not really tested the Linux compatibillity with manny boards specificlly.
Thats why @wendell does great reviews on boards by testing Linux compatibillity.
But i think that pretty much any AMD / intel board from lets say,
the last 2 / 3 years should be kinda compatible with Linux for the most part,
except for those very few boards that have out of ordernairy chips on them like Killer Nic´s and such.
Allthough i think that even those qualcomm athereos killer nics are kinda supported right now.
But there has been supporting issues with those killer nic’s in the past.
Manny boards use similar chips and controlers arround the board on a said platform / chipset series.
But of course chances are there that you could run into a certain board,
on which some things dont work well with Linux, like wifi modules or certain nic’s.
Its great to have topic like this.
Would having either a mechanical keyboard wiki or a general keyboard wiki be a nice thing to have?
most of those only mention cherry the most common cherry switches, having one which spans more than that could help people find something more obscure which they might end up liking.
i do not know the most about this but here are some things which could be mentioned:
buckling springs are still being manufactured https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/SFNT
the the non mainstream cherries which can still be acquired like the mx clears
Would there be a point since https://deskthority.net/wiki/Main_Page exists?
If you do make a mechanical keyboard wiki, you should make the general discussion page the mechanical keyboard lounge. At least in my opinion you should.
Yes make away if you would like to make it.
There are three parts (I have not fully written these up sorry)
- The wiki page. Make in the wiki section.
- A wiki meta talk page (for people to also or talk about adding info before adding it) this is in the meta talk sub category
- And a general discussion page optional where it makes sense. This would be the mechanical keyboard corner
I am sorry but i do not have the knowledge required.
it was meant more as an idea for a person/people who know something about this subject to make.
