My personal notes about the expected layout.

take inspiration from Arch Wiki?

What if this article was structured like https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide, adapting as needed?--Isa (talk) 18:56, 9 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

post-installation recommendations

The arch wiki has something similar to this, where it outlines what you should do after install. It would be beneficial to have something similar on this article or on another article

For example, enabling display managers, enabling a desktop environment, where to find packages and options, etc.

Partitioning and formatting sections are confusing

For example, for the boot sector it just says +500M, this would be familiar to someone used to fdisk. But someone who isn't doesn't even know what unit it is might assume they're just meant to add 500 to 2048 and write 2548. This is an easy fix(probably by using code blocks) though, but what I'm confused about is why in the tutorial it recommends using FAT32 for the boot partition.
