Emoji fonts
The section Fontconfig configuration recommends Emoji fonts for all generic font families. But Emoji fonts are not serif, so substituting them for serif family does not sound like the right thing to do. --Cyeleighton (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Kernel configurations
The section Kernel configuration contains instructions for setting kernel options, without any explanation. Would it be possible to expand the section to include the rationale? Also, the advice doesn't even seem to be followed in KDE neon. Is it still up to date? --Fanzhuyifan (talk) 20:54, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
