I was thinking more of newcomers.  The advice should be "pick one",
then all your questions can be "how do I do this on $DISTRO".  (I must
add that the original question did exactly that, asking about ubuntu.)
Then when you start to recognise how things work, you can adjust to
other values of $DISTRO.
