"And the last thing you might expect to see here... is pengwings."

Pengwings is a wiki which contains random documentation for various Linux things I had to work out.

Documentation is for Fedora Kinoite (KDE Atomic Desktop) and Universal Blue derivatives. Some alteration might be needed for other distros depending on what the thing is.
