[Qgis-user] no python console in QGIS 3 Ubuntu 17.10

[Patrick Dunford]

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

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.
