> Please do not make applications thinking the user can just Google it if they're stuck when if you Google "how to do X in Linux" you get 99 different solutions that don't work for your distro.

This is like searching "How to do X in Windows NT" and expecting to get results for Windows 11. Should be no great shock that when you use non-specific search terms the search engine returns non-specific results.

No, this is like searching "How to do X in Windows" because for a normal user it's Windows and Linux, not Windows and Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora, Arch Linux, Manjaro, etc.

Edit: I just realized Windows is so obviously Windows I didn't even write Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11. I just wrote Windows. That's what not being fragmented means.
