What I don't like about the average Linux tutorial is that they hardly ever explain anything. They are all "go to file /ehh/dsf/dsfjlfdsjjk.grbl and edit the line saying 'fkfjfhjg%%&' to say '%%%fjj887744', then reboot the system and your sound card will work". I guess it is better than nothing, but ultimately it feels a bit like wasted time. If it is complicated to make something work, at least I want to learn something while making it work.

Also, a lot of these cryptic tutorials seem to be outdated, because modern distributions offer easier ways to do the same thing.
