But my problem is similar with static sites: The various templates I’ve bought used Jekyll (Python), Gulp and NPM, it is not feasible to explain newbies how to properly install the dependencies for 3 systems (especially Python, with the 2.7 vs 3.7 difficulty).

Wordpress is inherently unstable on the long term because plugins must be upgraded (anyone who’s had a vulnerability issue knows it). But there is no other decently simple technology.

Hugo is pretty easy to use. Its in the repos for most distros and you just grab the premade gitlab CI file for it and it all just works.

Writing posts is slightly more of a pain than with wordpress but its nothing compared to the pain of either updating wordpress or having it hacked.
