Description
In the documentation some of the common pages are for POSIX versions of that command. For example head. The GNU version is moved to the linux directory in these cases. See: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/main/pages/linux/head.md

Research direction
Start by comparing the generated documentation for head at the linked coreutils page with pages/linux/head.md in tldr-pages. Identify other common pages representing GNU/Linux-specific behavior, then update their platform placement consistently. Done means the relevant pages use the linux platform rather than common and the documentation links remain correct.
