Description:
Account creation for the Arch wiki asks you to run "date -u +%V`uname`|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'" and provide the output. However, this relies on `uname` being expanded to "Linux", and not all shells use backtick for command substitution. Instructions should say to run the command in a sh-compatible shell such as bash.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start fish
2. Run date -u +%V`uname`|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'
3. Output is 182d1daa6a9dd474e7192a3588f48d407fc8bda202e9a89e863f1287e273464a
4. Expected output is 3740f4173d74c1e7bce9812f188120558174869d5183efb5fd3537f2d5fa80c9
