I just tell them to google first thing to do after installing Fedora and say “follow the guide except ‘fastest mirror’ just ignore.” Hasn’t failed anyone yet, and since I didn’t have anyone to help me it is what I did when I was new, except I’ve learned the fastest mirror part since then, so I pass along that knowledge.
Actually I think I may try and write up a script that’ll do all this for them, and make it even easier. I already have like half of it in my “new install” script but they don’t need all my packages.
