@blindcoder I'm the person responsible for making the flow on the website less "nuts".
The first two steps (i.e. "try now" and "learn about") are intentional. After that, the issue is that the website was unmaintained for nearly a decade and is currently a bit of a WIP.
I've created a bug report for improvements to the installation page: https://github.com/sugarlabs/www/issues/641
Feel free to give feedback there. I didn't see your Mastodon post until today.
