I think this is not the best instruction to encourage new users. Should try to avoid use of the terminal to start, so no dd. The layman isn't going to be able to figure out how to use the command properly anyways. Just instruction to 'burn' the iso to USB and go thru install should be enough. VPN, persistence, etc are too much for first timers. Hopefully they can figure out changing the boot order....

I agree, other than just burning/moving it to a USB, I always found Ubuntu to be the most straight forward and friendly Linux distro.
Interesting perspective. I'd rather see someone fuck it up an learn a thing or two, than remaining in the learned helplessness camp.
That's discouraging to beginners
