GoboLinux Knowledge Base

Welcome !

Hello and welcome to the official documentation and wiki of the GoboLinux project!

GoboLinux is quite different from your usual linux distribution. Therefore to make your journey as enjoyable possible, you should carefully read and consult the documentation.

If you have just installed GoboLinux on your PC, make sure to check out the Known Issues and Fixes section first.

How to find your way around

You can start with the Overview section on the left. This should get you started. You can use your ←left/→right buttons to navigate. Or use the our text search!

The main Documentation section contains some further and advanced topics , but if you’re serious about your GoboLinux journey you should read this one, too!

The Howtos section holds articles to solve a specific problem and guides you through step-by-step. We rely heavily on community contributions here. If you feel something important is not covered, be encouraged to submit your contribution!

The Commands section is a list of GoboLinux specific commands and tooling, that will make your life with GoboLinux much easier. They are what makes GoboLinux so enjoyable and are very much in the spirit of: „Do One Thing and Do It Well!”.

Couldn’t find what you were looking for?
