Description

Before starting work, some things need to be sorted out.

  1. Does OBK have an "Officially supported" list of Distros/DEs ?

    • If so, should Distros/DEs that are "soft-forks" be specifically catered to ? or should they be referred to follow the parent Distro's documentation ? (e.g. ZorinOS that is reskinned Ubuntu with some GNOME extensions)
  2. Do we document setup/usage of OBK on Xorg for distro/DEs that have already heavily shifted towards Wayland ?

    • For example, GNOME 46 and KDE6 are moving towards deprecating/removing Xorg support, and Fedora 40 is probably going to drop Xorg from both their GNOME and KDE spins. As these two DEs have practically abandoned Xorg, should we even have any Xorg-specific docs on them ?
    • NOTE : DEs that are still primarily using Xorg like Cinnamon or MATE will be unaffected, I am talking only about Wayland-leaning DEs
  3. Do we document versions of Distros that, probably very few desktop users are running today ?

    • Should we document Ubuntu 20.04 LTS when 24.04 LTS will come out in 2-3 months and 22.04 LTS has been out for 2 years ?
    • Or Debian 11 when Debian 12 is already out ?
