Bare minimum Linux concepts - an update (bpt11.vercel.app)

Hey it's me, the guy that posted here a couple weeks ago asking for bare minimum concepts new Linux users should understand. I really appreciate the responses I got last time, and now I'm back with my first draft! It's not 100% complete, but I'd love some feedback from the Linux community, let me know if there's anything I missed or that you think should be covered that I didn't yet talk about.

This will eventually be published as a permanent article on the site it is currently published on, as well as a video essay in the style of my other videos. I want it to be a resource for people to share with others making the switch and I'd like for it to be relatively future proof for a good while at least. Please let me know if there's anything I should tweak, cover a little more in depth, add or remove, etc. I'd love the input!

I'd cut this up into separate posts in all honesty as it's one massive info dump and could be extremely imitating to someone looking to try linux for the first time. I think you focused too much on why to switch and not exactly HOW to switch.

Maybe just focus on one distro also. Yes there are a lot of choices but there's no harm on rolling with one distro for a couple weeks until you get your legs under you and then feel free to hop around.
