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

[Patrick Dunford]

If I was doing it, it would just be for debian/ubuntu section, the rest 
would be copied/pasted from the existing one.

But it seems to me there are really only a small number of people that 
actually find it difficult. Like seriously, why would you put in the 
example name for you distro when it clearly says "this is an example".

How far can you practically go to make it easier for a small number of 
people who are either Linux novices, have a poor grasp of English or 
have comprehension difficulties? I have learning disabilities and had 
never used Linux before when I started to use the instructions but I 
never found them difficult to understand. The only real improvement I 
could think of is to perhaps put a little more detail or explanation in 
here and there, if there is enough space. I've got a rough draft but 
right now it might easily be 50% or more longer than what's there at the 
moment.
