🚀 The Linux User Group wiki has a brand new layout that should make it much easier to navigate.

🔍 It has an actual search bar! Try it!

📂 The troubleshooting section has been broken up into multiple subpages to make the whole thing easier to digest.

🐧 You automatically get 10,000 bonus geek points just for visiting it! 😎

🐛 Issue reports and pull requests can still be opened on the source repo just like always. It still mostly uses markdown syntax to make contributing easy.
