  • Is this tutorial to difficult for Linux users?

    From Stefan Claas@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 27 13:11:57 2025
    Hi all,

    I am currently having a discussion with a Linux user
    and he find my tutorial to difficult. It is written
    for Windows users, but works with Linux too.

    https://tilde.club/~pollux/

    Can you go though it please and give your comments.

    Thanks.

    Regards

    It is very terse (nothing wrong with that) and appears to presume a
    certian level of sys-admin knowledge (also nothing wrong with that).

    A typical windows user would be unable to follow it (for a typical
    windows user, if there is no GUI to hand hold them, they are lost).

    A typical ubuntu linux user will also be unable to follow (as a typical
    ubuntu user has essentially a windows user knowledge level of sys-admin
    details - and without a GUI they are also lost).

    A good linux sys-admin user [1] can follow it.

    [1] i.e., someone who can configure a Linux system using only a text
    mode terminal and a text editor.

    Thank you for your comments! I hope at least it gives folks and idea
    what can be done.
