Editorial Policy
Linuxize publishes practical Linux tutorials and guides for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers. This policy explains how we research, test, update, and correct our content.
Who Writes Our Content
Linuxize was founded by Dejan Panovski
, an RHCSA-certified Linux professional with over 20 years of experience as a system administrator, DevOps engineer, and technical writer. The vast majority of articles on this site are written and maintained by Dejan. Guest contributors follow the same editorial standards outlined below.
Editorial Standards
- Accuracy first — We verify commands, outputs, and configuration examples before publication.
- Practical focus — Articles are written for real systems and real use cases, not theoretical examples.
- Clear steps — We present instructions in a logical order with explanations before code blocks.
- Security awareness — We highlight risky commands and recommend safe defaults.
Testing and Verification
We test commands and workflows on real systems whenever possible. For distro-specific posts, we verify instructions on the named distribution and version. If a procedure changes across versions, we note the difference or provide separate versions.
Updates and Maintenance
We regularly review and update published articles to keep them accurate and current. Updated articles display a “Last updated” date to indicate when they were last revised. Common reasons for updates include:
- Software version changes or deprecated commands
- Improved procedures or better practices
- Reader feedback and error reports
- New sections such as FAQ, Quick Reference, or Troubleshooting
Corrections
If you find an error, outdated step, or missing detail, please contact us at [email protected]
. We review corrections promptly and update the article when needed.
Contributor Guidelines
Guest submissions follow the same standards for accuracy, testing, and clarity. All submissions are reviewed for technical correctness and editorial consistency before publication.
Transparency
We do not accept sponsored content that compromises the integrity of our tutorials. Advertising is kept separate from editorial decisions.
