doc/tutorial/get_started: LXD is not always refresh-able #294

Closed simondeziel closed 5 months ago

simondeziel commented 5 months ago

With 24.04 onward or if using any minimal image, the LXD snap won't be there. Also make it clear that we don't get the latest version but the latest LTS.

With that small tweak, I got a microcloud cluster running on 4x 24.04 VMs. While it's a bit early to change the doc to use 24.04 VMs, it's a first step.

But the tutorial doesn't use 24.04. A tutorial should be one clear path and not offer options - adding the "if it is installed" part makes it sound like we don't know whether it is, but we're working with VMs and know what is installed.

I wanted to make it easier for those diverging a little from the tutorial, but yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks
