I find that hard to understand. I started off using Qgis on Windows and then became a novice Linux user and started installing it on Linux right away. I don't recall ever struggling to understand how to install it on Linux. It would be no harder to install than anything else on my system apart from the usual noob stuff.

If people find it hard to follow the instructions they do have the option of installing from their distro. They won't get the latest version a lot of the time but it does have the advantage of appearing by default in their Software Center or whatever package management GUI the distro provides

Hi

I don't know what's missing but there are imho too many ubuntu/Debian users 
that struggle to install the proper QGIS version. It's sometimes because they 
don't really know the name/type of their distribution, they ignore unstable and 
ubuntugis subtleties, they do not read all the instructions (particularly the 
footnotes) before trying to install... but obviously, there's something not 
clear/obvious/accessible to our readers in the way the information is provided.
This leads me to this issue report 
(https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/issues/509) where someone proposes 
another organisation of this section. I don't know if it's the right way to 
expose all the required information but it might be worth giving a look or 
discussing it.
