We have better instructions for non-free systems than for free ones.
They include the exact commands you would need to run to install Emacs.
I suggest we add instructions for free operating systems as well.
I don't think this would mean a lot of work, as the commands rarely
change. We could decide to only include instructions for the top 5 most
popular distributions, scientifically decided by searching online for
"most popular gnu linux distributions" or something:
- Debian/Ubuntu
- Fedora/RedHat
- Arch Linux
- OpenSUSE
- GNU Guix
And we could document in a comment to that file that our policy is to
be very restrictive with adding more (to avoid zealous fan of random
small distribution <foo> to ask it to be added).
Note that just the first entry in that list would probably already cover
a significant proportion of our GNU/Linux users.
