  "Incus" and a bunch of jargon? and some AI-generated-lookin' art? Just point people to the Linux Mint download page and have them use the installation guide there. Otherwise, what's your angle?

  So, you're absolutely sure you want to switch to Linux because your current system just isn’t cutting it anymore? Tired of being spied on, locked into proprietary formats, and dealing with endless software updates right when you have zero time for them? Ready to explore the other side—the freer side? No more talking—let’s get straight to it. Here’s how to get up and running in no time.

  Do you think this is difficult? Tell me what I could do better in this extreme to the point guide. Thank you!

  My point is to create more guides that people actually can use. AI is NOT the main point. The point is to try helping people find ways to use software. Not everybody knows what an .iso file ist, not everybody who wants to use something does know how to start. That's the point.

  I don’t want to discourage anyone but AI art is for whatever reason always a big turnoff for me.
