KB content update
Please provide a summary of the request and outline any user-facing changes. [REQUIRED]
In bug 1826748, we added instructions to install Mozilla's new .deb package for Debian-based Linux distributions. Let's make this installation medium the first recommended one. It won't cover all Linux so "Install from your distribution package manager" is also recommended for any other Linux distributions.

N/A.
Is this an on- or off-train release? Please indicate the product version number, if applicable, and add it to the end of the Summary field using the format of: Summary [Product V123]. [REQUIRED]
Off-train.
What is the anticipated release date? [REQUIRED]
We're not tied to any particular date. Let us know when you all think it's a good time.
Does the content need to be published prior to the release date? If so, when? [REQUIRED]
No.
Does the content need to be localized in any languages outside of EN-US? If yes, please indicate which languages. [REQUIRED]
Yes. All the usual languages we support.
Please include any related JIRA/Github/Bugzilla tickets, documentation, demos or practical use cases. [REQUIRED]
Please include links to any design assets, visuals, figma files, etc. [REQUIRED]
No design assets.
Please add instructions for testing that will enable us to replicate the expected product behavior. [REQUIRED]
No test needed.
Does the content need approval before publishing? If yes, identify the one approver responsible for this task.
Yes, :jlorenzo.

Hey Lucas! I'm not sure what the process for such change is. On the one hand, the actual text change should be minor. On the other hand, I don't know if we need to coordinate with other teams. What are your thoughts on this?

Please can I pick this one up? (I use Debian myself..!)
Absolutely, Paul! And by the way, feel free to jump in on any Linux tickets you see. Linux is still a bit fuzzy for me, hehe, so any help you can offer is really welcome. I’m assigning the ticket to you now. Just ping me when the draft is ready for review, and I’ll update it in Asana.

Hey Johan, apologies for the delayed response—this one slipped through on our side. Paul, one of our top contributors, has stepped in to help with these updates. We’ll notify you as soon as we have a draft ready for your review. Also, we recently published a blog post that explains our process for content requests (https://blog.mozilla.org/sumo/2024/07/26/content-intake-workflow-and-how-you-can-contribute-to-sumo-knowledge-base/), which might be helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.
