All done. Debian and Other Linux instructions have been combined into just Linux instructions.

However, the Debian expert instructions (command line and GnuPG) will still be for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint only. The user is instructed to install the Debian keyring and use apt. So, a Debian-based distribution is needed for the expert instructions to be valid.

Stuff that still needs to be done:

  • Rescue translations
  • Clean all the code related to the defunct Debian scenario: files
  • Fix the numbering of steps in the dd toggle (if still relevant)

I reviewed your branch and all the changes are good!

I did a bit more work to remove more things all around the place and update the PO files.

Please have a look at my branch.

For example, you can check:

git log -p origin/doc/15660-usb-images..origin/doc/15659-doc-gnome-disks-debian

Then we can close this ticket.

Good job!

bf5ffcd43b Add missing infography

Is this infographic a placeholder for right now? I’m asking because the infographic depicts an ISO image, rather than a USB disk image, being installed to a USB stick.

Other than this, everything looks good!
