The first two guides themes' are:

"So you want to get into (pragmatic) Free Software extremism?"

It's finished! I hope it's good enough... You can find it here! However, there is an issue I'm trying to resolve with not being able to post it. I'm getting an invalid_body_field error, soooo you can access it through NotABug for now.

⏸️ "So you want to get into Linux?"

~~Didn't even start to work on it... However, there is a plan! The guide will introduce a singular Debian based distribution for several reasons. Simplicity, support, stability. Since Debian is one of the best supported Linux distributions it will be, or any other Debian based distribution, to begin explaining what Linux is, it's ecosystems and how to navigate them. There will also be a small introduction to the terminal, why it's useful and why you don't need to be a master at it nor remember everything to use it for what you need! It will be introduced along with the concept of a package manager. Only one distribution will be introduced as to not overwhelm anyone on what they should choose, or what is the best choice (which doesn't exist).~~

Yeah I've written some already, I'll work on finishing it later. I'm tired and hungry, here's the thing if you'd like to read it.

~~They will be posted when both are finished! Stay tuned!~~ I'm posting the first to check for problems. There are problems 💀, I've asked @[email protected] . for help so we'll see how it goes

If you have any suggestions please leave them here! Don't DM me! Let the whole community take part!

Good work. I appreciate the effort and I think this guide will be useful for the people.

I suggest adding table of contents on the beginning of each page with links to subsections.
