A lot of this site assumes you are running Ubuntu or that users will only be running Linux on a Desktop. My first Linux experience was creating a LAMP stack back in 2002 for a project. My first Linux experience was most definitely not with Ubuntu. I suggest that you streamline your site a bit to be less distribution specific.

Not so, judging by the number of requests for dual-boot help on these forums and elsewhere.
On this subject alone you do not even mention Secure Boot, UEFI, efi, Grub, Grub Rescue etc, so how you can describe your site as "a comprehensive site for Linux beginners", I really don't know.
You're not really consistent. You say (correctly) that it is quite possible to use Linux without using the command line but most of your other sections are CLI only.The sort of people you are writing for will take a look and quickly conclude that all this is for geeks only and quite above them.

Literally the only thing tailored to Ubuntu is the "install linux" page. Every other tutorial will work on any distro. Most will even work on OS X.

Maybe you are right. I will work on that, thanks.

Which is why I included this sentence:
"Learning the command line is unnecessary for regular users, however it is beneficial for programmers, systems administrators and troubleshooters to be comfortable with this powerful tool."
