The Arch wiki is very applicable to most distributions.


I find Debian-based distros have much more customizations compared to more upstream based distros like Fedora and Arch Linux.


Yes, likewise. Debian-based distros won't be wildly dissimilar, but you'll have to modify bash commands and stuff to fix paths that are different, conventions, and other things, whereas on Fedora it usually just works as is, minus a package name and a `dnf` v. `pacman` here and there. High level concepts will usually be the same, but when tweaking a Debian-based system you'll have to learn whether or how your distro of choice does it differently.


I've been using the docs with NixOS successfully.
