Describe your suggestion

I think it should be menthioned that when installing a web browser, to be sure is a .deb and not a flatpak. I was using the default installation which was flatpak, and when I reached the lesson in html where we add a local link, the "About Page" and also an image that was provided, it was not working using the local links like: ./pages/about.html .. as described in the lesson. After a lot of reasearch I learnt that local links and terminal commands work differently with flatpaks since they are like isolated instalations

The text should be corrected in the installations lesson: https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-installations

But the lesson where I was affected by this lack of information was here: https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-links-and-images Maybe could be added "note comment" also in this lesson "links and images"

@TheOdinProject/installations thoughts?

I think we already make it pretty clear when we instruct users to download and install the deb version of Chrome

Ubuntu which is the recommended distro does not support Flatpaks by default. I think anyone that went out of their way to install Flatpak/Flathub should know better than to install the Flatpak instead of the deb.
