Editorial Standards

Last updated: July 4, 2026

StackFuel.tech is an independent technical publication. These standards explain how we write, review, and maintain content.

Who we are

StackFuel is run by a small editorial team focused on Windows desktops, Linux workflows, and self-hosted homelab setups. We write for people who build and maintain their own systems — not for search engines.

See About for our mission and background.

What we publish

We focus on practical guides with clear steps, real commands, and honest trade-offs:

• Windows — performance, privacy, troubleshooting, and power-user workflows
• Linux — distros, terminals, drivers, and desktop setup
• Self-hosted — Docker stacks, networking, backups, and homelab services
• Hardware & news — buying guidance and industry updates with sourced specs

We do not publish scraped content, auto-generated pages without human review, or affiliate-driven listicles disguised as reviews.

How guides are written

Each guide is researched, drafted, and reviewed before publication:

1. Research — official documentation, release notes, and primary sources
2. Testing — commands and install paths are verified on real hardware or VMs where possible
3. Review — steps are checked for accuracy, safety, and clarity
4. Updates — guides are revised when software versions or best practices change

When a guide covers a topic we have not personally run end-to-end, we say so and link to authoritative sources.
