Imagination? That's bloat.
If you can't read HTML, why even bother using a computer?
it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download
But... Firefox is always already installed.
yay for the win
Why should you use yay to install a browser?

I've been using Linux for more than a decade now as my daily driver.
Count me as 'basic' and 'just starting', because I quite like the colorful, clicky and nicely animated version, where I don't have to remember anything and that works just as well.
And now out of my way, while I happily point, click and scroll to adjust my displays brightness, which is entirely possible through the terminal, but I'm not ridiculous or insecure enough for that.
Linux users install chrome now...?
Only for stuff that really requires my Google-account
Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.
Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.
Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.
Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.
HERESY! GET THE TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!!
